Right now I am looking for a 4+ multifamily in the Worcester/Middlesex area up to 300K or SFR to flip prob use hard money with some skin of my own in the deal.

Though I have had some interesting things fall in my lap and I've found a couple of investor friendly agents.Inventory is tight and the competition is fierce but if you have thick skin it can be fun.

Very, very,very thick skin.

Do any of you avoid certain colors in plumbing?

Im like what ever...I think underwriters are fools to offer people this loan with no skin in the game. 3.5% barely pays closing costs.

It's just the interest that we're paying that gets under my skin, knowing that money is so much cheaper these days, but harder to qualify for, especially since it isn't an owner-occupied place any longer.

The one thing that I for sure would have done differently would have been to choose a different color for the shutters.

My thought on location is if I can walk up to the house and collect rent after dark and not be afraid to get back to my car location probably isnt the problem.

I've found that it's best to wood fill the holes, sand, then use a wood putty to match the color of the rest of your floor before putting the sealant/polyurethane on it.

Additionally, they don't really have any skin in the game to keep them from just walking away if things turn sour.
