So big question, with my situation of not necessarily needing to earn money for a year and with some cash to invest, should I work on becoming a full time agent or should I find a full time real estate investor and be his free assistant, like in all the pod casts and all the books the money will come later.

In June I finished my 19th year of teaching elementary school and have embarked on a new adventure and will be flipping houses full time.    

Plus, it is important to understand where good design can positively affect your ROI.Burlingame is an interesting location for growth with its easy access to regional public transit.

I am interested in turning real estate into a full time job.  

Since I was in Texas and planned on staying there I found out that I was qualified to take a real estate broker license test and get a license so I took the test and got that license but I never did that full time.  

Title companies do not cast judgments on these types of deals as long as they are arms length.. your risks are the bank gets wind of the transfer and calls the note.. as long as you have the ability to refi or pay it off.. to protect the 15k or so you going to put into it.I don't know about UTAH but there are some very tough rules in OR and WA when dealing with someone in foreclosure.. is this their primary resi or investment? 

Is there any other places to see a full break down example of a residential flip?

@Sharath Kumar the pop corn ceilings could be a major problem along with any texture on the walls if they are asbestos or lead containing. there is no way to do it your self in Colorado both the removal of asbestos and lead are highly regulated by the Colorado dept of public health's air pollution division, it would be really dangerous to attempt to do this type of friable removal in an apt building because of the shared air systems used in the 1970's you could  contaminate the entire building with asbestos fibers or lead dust.

I can get phone records of the subject, their friends and family, employers, address history, land lines, cell phones, judgements for 2 dollars a search and then full blow background checks for tenant screening for 12 dollars. 

I just had a full appraisal done on a property and it cost $450.
