Moving forward, I guarantee we will approach our next flip with a different angle and have it completed in the most efficient way we know how to.

So between being a first time home buyer, knowing the house is in a flood zone, and ill have to some how evict this guy efficiently.....What would be some good advice for me?

Get some tax-efficient cash flow, take some equity off the table and defer the taxes on the gain.  

Ideally, it should have some sort of email capability so it can automatically receive lead information from Zillow, Realtor, your website, etc..Some go so far to give you reminders when you haven't communicated with a lead in a long time and can give you predictive behavior analytics.Obviously, the more functions in the CRM the more you have to pay.

If choosing between a company that can manage 100 REO properties, or a company that can manage 3, it is more efficient for the lender to go with the larger company.  

And see if the attorney's communication style fits your needs.

As my GC explained it to me, he is basically giving me wholesale pricing because he knows he will continue to get my business and because he knows that after doing a few flips, he will know exactly what I want and at what quality, which significantly increases his efficiency and profitability.

Because stocks are such an efficient market investors struggle growing their money at the rate that they want to see their money grow.What we now have is investors chasing the inefficient real estate market.

There is a modular house design that I really like - small, efficient, stylish.

@Mindy Jensen it depends a lot on the circumstances and communication etc.
