One of the biggest downsides is the lack of "city" infrastructure in many areas.

Maybe you are not doing something correct if you find it is still as hard now as it was when you did your first deal.The biggest reason it is easier is something MikeOH talks about.

I am assuming that I need to work on my primary home as a source of income instead of getting an investment property loan so that I can do it from a primary residence until I get enough income from this from flipping.

I suggest the biggest issue is with how the units are installed and if they are checked or maintained.

Hello everyoneDid somebody knows how do i find a source for diamonds?

In both cases the unit we were selling was the biggest, the best located or something that made drove demand such that a buyer would approach the owner just in case a deal could be done.

Burned out landlords are a great source of deals....

The biggest thing that happened here was an overbuilding of houses (especially in the upper price ranges).

Tell them what sources you expect your revenue to come from & if you plan to have any real estate holdings, etc.A good CPA should be the one to tell you which type of entity to set up because there are several big tax differences when it comes to LLC's, C-Corps, etc.

As you already know this is a really good source for REI insight and guidance.
