As far as I can tell, they are quite expensive.

I've been doing this for quite awhile as a real estate investor and author.

Hello, I've read quite a bit about house flipping and even though there is always more to learn I think I am ready for my first deal.

It's those maniacs that buy homes cash via quit claim deed off of craigslist that really get screwed.Make sure your property manager is a licensed real estate brokerage.Understand you can not eliminate all risk, only mitigate it.

I am really wanting to up the flow of leads for myself but I just don't know quite how to because it seems impossible to at least direct mail market like in the US.Any info, tips and tricks, and guidance would be greatly appreciated!

As an example, if you have to replace a fridge, even a more economical one around $600, that would eat up a whole year of maintenance.

Ok…that was quite a bit about myself but I thought it would be helpful for others to get to know me.

Your reasons may be different, but I'm planning to start with SFH because the downpayment money I have saved is enough for a SFH but probably not quite enough for a duplex.

If we could eventually move on from the 9-5 we will, but this will be our side business for quite some time. 

I think it would be the best way for peace and quite for us.
