There is always a major catastrophe in her life.

@Brian Dvorak Hey Brian I'm looking at a burned house in my area and was wondering what major factors do you consider when you flip burnt properties?

Well worth the cost and effort.Going from 5 to 20 properties would be a major move.

You are better off analyzing the remaining life of major Capex components like roof, windows, plumbing, furnace, AC and have a reserve fund set aside as part of acquisition cost.

I shoot for no more than 1 month rent as a reasonable goal for a standard turn unless I also do a major update like all new floors or new windows, etc.  

Check Facebook, there are real estate investing clubs in every major city that a lot of times have monthly meetups.  

Snohomish County is a great area to invest, and the airport at Paine Field will be a major factor.

So, without doing your research you could buy in a terrible time without understanding major downsides. 

@Ashanta Kelly I am not a Realtor, but as an investor, I can tell you that San Marco has some major problems with flooding and the City has a plans to fix it, within 3 years.

It really needs an in-depth discussion with a tax expert specializing in real estate.There is a major distinction between a developer and an investor for tax purposes:Developer buys, subdivides, maybe builds and sells.
