Is that approach unusual?

I love your practical approach to getting it done.  

Thanks for sharing @Rick H. there is no one perfect system that leads to profits.Solve problems, vary approach, follow up

I will be certain to take your advice for determining my approach up there.

There is no perfect science, but making sure you approach the deal with a skeptical / conservative eye is important.

For me education is very important not only for the theory and math behind the business as well as the countless connections you will make by attending but also it is a huge commitment to yourself to follow through and set the bar high. 

If there are any suggestions on how to approach my first flip feel free to chime in. 

I personally would rather be an investor/landlord willing to help than not to, as I have found the ethical approach to what my parents always told me growing up to "always treat others as you'd like to be treated" to be very fruitful in this game of life (and real estate) we all play. 

Approach it as a business decision.
