You want your name in the back of the mind of the public, then when prompted, your name is recognized.Professional companies use signage, fly by nights don't.Might add a "rider" on the side of your sign and post a copy of your permit too.In some areas I've seen signs pulled in the evening and they are put up early in the AM, kids and theft.

. $250,000 (ARV) x .70 = $175,000 - $55,000 (repairs) = $120,000so here $120,000 is a good purchase price for the flipper (keep in mind this is a rough rule of thumb most people use) now you have to buy the home for less than $120,000 to make your profit, how much is up to you.I really hope this helps, good luck and take care of those 3 kids!

The first mistake would have cost us $20k, luckily, I did some homework which avoided that.

Do your homework -- and this means more than just looking at Google Street View.

Doing a little traveling early this week for my "profession" and not sure my wife will allow me being gone another evening given the kids activities.Looking forward to meeting you both!

At my age I've seen the cycles in R/E over the years from when I was a kid.

@Michael Lerch I agree, it was harsh, when you were a little kid and started to run in front of a car, I bet your parents spoke harshly, responded quickly with a commanding voice.

"Look out kids they keep it all hide"

One of my kids might like to have it one day.You could add on a double car garage on the lot next door and put an efficiency apartment on the back.

I am a single mom with 2 part-time young kids.
