Great article!

my situation right now is i do all the legwork. my realtor and i find the properties. we walk the properties and come up with a rehab price. the deal is given to the investor, and if he likes it he buys. he then deposits the rehab $ in my account, sometimes in increments if its a larger flip. the property gets sold. i get 10% of profits. only other $ i make on the deal is if i have time and do any of the physical work, then i can pay myself.walking anywhere from 10 to 40 properties a weekarranging and making deals with suppliers and workers to keep costs downtaking responsibility for project getting done for the amount i quoted it to bei wouldn't consider doing it for a nickel less than what i am right now, and often times that isn't enough.
