Approaching owners directly kept us from competing with hundreds of other potential buyers.

I personally take a level with me a good 4 foot one or I take the new laser level I bought for a couple hundred dollars. 

The problem is that I know from dealing with section 8 in the past is that they are going to be a few hundred dollars off from what I am asking for rent and their “fair market rent”.

I work with hundreds of investors and close lots of fix/flip deals per year. 

I know there are numerous details that all contribute to making or breaking a property and I could probably write a list of hundreds of follow-up questions (rent rolls, recent major repairs / capital improvements, historical vacancy rates, maintenance records, etc) ...

Blue Shield also have individual plans that you can purchase for a few hundred dollars a month.

It was after hundreds of doors knocked and rejections until I found this hidden gem.

I am from Venezuela and moved into the U.S only 11 months ago at the age of 21, as soon as I arrived I started learning Real Estate, I am an Engineer so numbers are my thing, so after a few months of hardcore preparation, I obtained my Real Estate License and quickly applied my knowledge and tools to Real Estate Investing.I found this deal after several weeks of nonstop door-knocking in Miami, it was hundreds of doors knocked and rejections before I was able to find this hidden gem.This property was in pre-foreclosure status when I found it.Here is how the deal went down:Purchase Price: $99,800 + Closing Cost: $3200Rehab: $50,000 ARV: $250,000Description: 3/1 SFH in OK condition in a fast growing area in Miami, full interior rehab was done. several comps of similar properties in the area have sold between $230,000-$280,000 price range.

That area has duplexes pop up. rent is lower by several hundred but the way the population is spreading, those cheap spots will get taken.

They wanted some change back, a few hundred dollars.
