I like Rick's idea of re-using a color/finish scheme over several projects, especially if you plan on scaling up and doing multiple flips at a time.

In my experience 50% of the work is finding the property and 50% is getting it to settlement.Special circumstances can be difficult to get to settlement and so anything that's an estate, short sale, multiple owners etc. is worth more than average.For me (and I can only speak for me ever), I charge 3% for the whole shebang.

There are multiple properties owned by a company called "I buy everything LLC" that are being foreclosed on. 

The last 7 listings I took all went under contract in a few days and had multiple offers.

Our contract is ending and we will be using your advice @Jon Holdman and will be interviewing multiple agents before signing yet another listing contract.

Hi Filipe,My suggestion would be to shop that mortgage at a good mortgage broker with commercial experience and multiple companies to work with.

We do update if it is extremely old/poor looking but as long as it is average we will just deep clean it and leave it.Vacancy is almost never an issue since the area is highly desired, close to highway, shopping so we typically rent at market rent or sometimes 50$ below if they are willing to sign a multiple year lease.

It is great for family partnerships that own multiple properties/businesses.One cell would be a disregarded entity and another can be taxed as an S-corp.

I've read in multiple guru books how beneficial it may be to become a realtor while in the pursue of becoming a full time REI.

I tried to buy a few REOs with cash and no contingencies and was iced out due to multiple offers.The question is, rather than holding on speculation for better times.
