There are initial and annual costs involved, and you have to sign up with a brokerage. 

Read about finding off market deals and marketing to them; read about making offers and estimating rehab costs; read about building a buyers list; read about the analytics of a good rental property of flip property.

In my local market (SE Michigan) construction costs have gone up but home prices have fallen.

there are costs to close on the buy, costs to hold, costs to finance, and then MAJOR costs to sell, plus...

It cost about $3200 (they will send you a discount code if you look at it a few times) and had 6 classes all 2 weeks long.

Folks tend to far underestimate the cost, and length of time, that it takes to rebuild from a disaster such as this.

BTW, PV is currently hawking a "we partner with you" scheme that will cost $9500!

Cost to build should not matter there.Look at your deals. 

Unfortunately, the process has been much slower than anticipated, and we are still not ready to list the property.Additionally, the costs have significantly exceeded our initial expectations, and the property manager has not been very responsive or clear about why this is happening.

That's $18,000 a month income and their costs are probably 1/3 that.
