They lay out and explain the process.1: The Book on Flipping Houses - J Scott2: FLIP - Rick Villani3: BRRRR - David M Green4: The Book on Estimating Rehab CostsWell worth the time and very informational.Good Luck!

If NAR had any balls, they'd cut off the IDX feeds and take their listing data private again, force anyone who wants access to MLS to sign a buyers rep agreement at the very least or better yet pay a retainer, put the companies who simply populate data from the MLS into their own sites then offer crappy customer service out of business (the ones who brought these lawsuits on us by being bottom-feeders) and control the market. 

It's not just data; it's knowledge, empowerment and opportunity rolled into one groundbreaking solution.However SMFLs aspirations go beyond this.

Pay some guru $25k who will tell you that you can make $250k a year if you do this simple five step process.

Are there any data sources that can help me select which areas of San Antonio are growing and would be good investment areas?

I share my contact info, let them know about the transition in ownership process, how I operate, what they can expect, etc. 

Does anyone know a great attorney/title rep in Florida to process a Quitclaim for me?
