. :)Read, learn and absorb all the knowledge you can, but don't let that be a barrier to entry.

Welcome to the site @Caleb Friberg glad to see you are on this platform absorbing the knowledge.I wish you the best of luck in your venture 

Perhaps letting them stay for longer (a year), and absorbing the negative cash flow to save on a purchase price. 3.

Glad to see you have spent time absorbing knowledge on this platform.

Absorb as much as you can to build a good foundation and take massive action. 

Absorbs their back taxes and cut them a piece and in return he gets the deed.

Considering you are newer to this space I would take some time absorbing information about the real estate marketplace.

No need to absorb costs they caused you to incur.

Thank you for the warm welcome and solid information to start absorbing.  

Motivation: always loved houses - and when our 4 kids were small I needed to find flexible ways to make additional incomeBiggest struggles: Early on it was finances - had to work with OWC deals only - learnings: tried to absorb as much as I could from the seller perspective such as: what lenders want to see in a home, how lenders qualify buyers, what buyers want in a house, how to create a viable product with limited funds (safe, legal, and appealing)Love & Hate: love a project - finding the deal, turning a dump into a palace, and getting it sold. hate being a landlord - just not for me.
