This is seasonal and a year over year trend.  

Hi all,I am an investor-friendly agent so I spend my days showing properties in dire need of repair and as a designer, I am jumping for joy over all of the POSSIBILITIES I see in these potential flip deals.But as an agent, I'm sending them to my clients.

yes, a fork from OpenOffice :)   I've dealt with software versioning for decades and as the MS *.doc is the comparability standard, moving off OO will be trivial if/when than becomes necessary

The wife and I are 34/33 years old and while we would love to leave our current jobs, we don't have to be rushing to much.Anyway, the house/numbers:The house is a 3 bed, 2 bath, move in ready property with updated bathrooms, and a fairly nice kitchen.  

I've never had to do that (my county has info online, both a good and a bad thing IMO), so I don't know if there is a fee or any scrutiny of why you want the info.

We have been living with the house as-is, and a found a number of additional problems with it.  

@Matthew Hunt I have always gotten to know an area and a provider and their work before closing on a property with them out of state, but I certainly don't go out to see every property.  

You still analyse the deal to make sure youhave some room in it and a decent return on your 5%.One of my friends just bought 16 homes from a landlord who financed them.

I am interested in similar titles, books that are almost like manuals and a very applicable when it comes to multi-family investing.

So I am finally getting my feet wet.I have been putting offers in on multiple properties for a month and a half & I finally won a Multiple offer situation.
