First ill be moving to california for 8 months or less and after that ill be moving to Colorado Springs.

So if there are any of you guys working on your properties I would love to tag along and lend a helping hand when needed, Ill even make store runs.

Eventually as we fix it up and raise rents I think ill be very happy I bought it.I just want you to understand you're likely buying yourself a lot of issues in the near term.

Thanks J Scott, I guess I could save money from the purchase and sale but ill have to weigh those costs depending on if it's worth it per amount of flips we decide to do per year.

Newton Newbie was negotiating to purchase a property from Lady Elderly, who was selling her home of 40 years where she had raised her family, nursed her husband through illness, and was now living alone but with 6 pets.

I"ll search the forum to get details.Thanks again to all for generously sharing information.Regards,b

thankyou Hattie for the hello and constructive criticism ille keep that in mind.

It may be they're just trying to get out of a neighborhood that makes them uncomfortable or it may be they're going for a pay day for of their "pain and suffering" and every future illness that comes their way.
