I hope this helps, feel free to send me a dm if you have any other questions.

Why I want to get my license is because I am interested in Real estate is due to the fact I like helping others find there dream home whilst moving around to different areas and I would like to invest into a rental property.I really plan on going to college to get MBA to help me move further.

The key is to be detailed and consistent in your logging.For our clients, we provide a custom spreadsheet to help track activities more effectively.

As a result, many investors (including myself) are either spending a very small premium for way fewer headaches in other markets or moving farther afield to more promising opportunities. 

My rule of thumb when it comes to this is get someone out there (3-4 contractors) and get them to bid the job then the more you do that you can quote off the top of your head when you see a project.

It takes more work (and creative thinking) to make deals work in the current market.  

So the play was these fellows would hunt down who lost the house get them to sign a deed over to them for say 500.00 then they would sell this deed for say 5 to 10k and sometimes much more there buy extingishing the redemption rights and the bidder could start right away on rehab etc.. its was just a cash for keys grab..  

We have purchased a few properties over the last couple years paying cash but now trying to have a more concise plan moving forward since finding BP.

If you plan to build a rental portfolio, holding onto this property might be a good start.To help you decide, here are some steps:- Use the DSCRANALYZER to determine what the cash flow numbers look like.- Research the local market to understand rental demand and pricing.- Consider consulting with a real estate agent or property manager to get a better sense of the rental potential.If you're not in immediate need of the cash, renting could be a good option, especially if the numbers work out.

A lot of the risk can be mitigated by just doing the homework and moving slow.Hope that helps!
