good luck, I have a friend working near Pensacola right now making a killing doing flips and has been for 3 years. this market can't last forever so be ready to shift your focus in a few years when things start to tighten

@Miguel Rosario,To Make the @ work do the following:Hold down the shift key and type the following: @?

Flip was a 1350sf 3/ 1 1/2, bought at 82.5, put 7 in and sold for 115, cleared 22k for 2 months work, the market was shifting toward buy/hold so bought rental for 44k, took 6 months and 8k, now pulls 1100/mo.  

Ive had this happen a few times - sometimes people walk under my tape at the door or one time I forgot to tape off the door.on some projects people just have no clue and continue to walk in while tiles are sliding. the first photo shows mainly clean tiles then you get the areas where there was traffic and thinset is pushed up everywhere and shifted tiles. not defending anyone but just saying sometimes I catch this before I leave for the day and other times this is what it looks like the next day when I walk in.best of luck  

While he was working on the property, the market made a MAJOR shift and he was able to sell it for about $165,000.I only received TWO total calls from the Craigslist ad...

I feel in complete control of the deal and outside of cataclysmic events it is a very calculated risk.With the stock market the CEO could be clueless like most are and tank the company in one fell swoop or the drones on wall street could simply shift their mutual funds away from something and then I am tanked.I know there is a lot of money to be made out there but I guess I am a control freak.

If the repairs will cost less than $15k (don't quote me on the exact number), you can do the streamlined version and close a little faster.

At least two important factors help fuel urbanization: Population Shifts: Activities are concentrated in urban centers, creating career and lifestyle options for younger workers.

Therese--couple of things that are addressed some on the board already, mostly to help streamline this for the future...For the future-- maybe clarify if you are using a first qualified applicant (gets it) screening method or if you are allowing a set/variable time to get a pool and then sifting it for best qualified applicant; this can help you from the outset... 2) Trouble shoot every procedure in the application, screening (and even from the showing through offer and signing process) to make sure it works without glitches.

There are a handful of lenders in the Houston area that will finance the purchase of distressed property via a hard money loan and streamline the refinance process into long-term Fannie Mae conforming financing.There are multiple benefits to purchasing properties via this type of financing.
