The bank has obtained two writs of execution since the BK ended and the property is now scheduled for a sheriff's sale next month.  

I agree with @Ricky Beliveau where there's not much meat on the bone at $750K - an executable deal I'd put at $925K+, soft costs for MY biz (with overhead, etc) run roughly 9-10% ARV, if held for 6-10 months.  

What are your opinions on the East Bank/Howard Park area?

Art Crosby is the Executive Director of this organization and will be discussing best practices for staying in line with our local rental laws as well as national laws.

My work projects are executed just fine, but it's no walk in the park, and maybe flipping is not the right hobby to supplement my real job.I know newbies would kill to have a background like mine, but for some reason, I can't get myself to purchase that great deal sitting down there at the end of the street and just get started on this!

Hi, I'm Howard.

No, I haven't bought in Laurel, however I  do you know that Laurel is split between two counties: PG and Howard.

But once you take the leap, all you need to do is focus on your plan and execution. 

I am interested in "contract flipping" to begin, and how I can execute flips perfectly.

Perhaps they would waive any penalty if a purchaser will execute an agreement with them....
