And of course were you live is the mother of all appreciation plays.. :)

We purchase houses off the MLS or at auction using a rehab loan from a private lender, get the work done (mostly outsourced, though my husband likes to do some of it himself), pay our contractors with rehab draws from the loan, then list it using on online MLS listing broker and use our attorney for the closing.

Hi everyone, I'm planning to become a real estate agent and I can't decide which online school to go to.

Aside from learning as much as I can through books, online forums, and the BP podcasts, should I look for a local investor that flips homes and offer my contracting services?

However, both purchases look like great purchases today (Purchase 1 in 1993: purchased for $167K, depreciated to ~$140K is worth ~$600K today, Purchase 2 in 2004: purchased for $741K, depreciated to ~$620K, Trulia has it North of $1M today).My point is that sitting on the sidelines during a hot market may be safe but it may not be the smart play.

Now I’m not worried because o have automated online systems for rent collection, contractors and licensed repair professionals on speed dial, and I have some boots on the ground in the form of family who can lend their knowledge and keep an eye out for me.My first thought to this question is : if I’m worried that it may be too far ,then for me it may be too far.I could never do a flip that far away, IMO.

Midwest City is a solid area, but it may be hard to find a lot of deals there due to the number of investors playing in that sandbox.

We were lucky, the neighbor had 4 kids that lived there full time and they were close in age with my kids so they played together often.   4.

Until the dumpster arrived I told them to pile it in the back yard (p.s this won’t make your city happy, but if you’re nice to them, they will play nice back) I filled up the 40 cubic yard dumpster easily and kept the smaller dumpster and have had that emptied several times.
