let me tell you a story, gustavo. learn what you can from it, or just simply pass it off as one mans luck. 11 years ago, i started out on real estate investing. i had $2000 in my bank account. the bank said i had to keep $300 in it to avoid monthly charges. so, i had $1700 to invest. we went to look at a house listed on the hud.gov website. right next door was a boarded up house. hadn't been lived in for like 100 years, so it looked. i contacted the local tax authority and found out that they owned it thru back tax reposession. ( keep that in mind) along with this, they owned 2 other houses. i went to  look at all 3. i ended up buying that house for the $1700, but kept one of the others in mind also. i got a credit card for $4400 limit. fixed up the first house with that money. what i didn't already know about fixing up houses, i learned by doing this one. i have owned that house for 11 years now, took out a loan on it for a small amount to pay off the credit card and give me some money to move on to the next one. the tenants pay the payment and taxes thru their rent, and i still own that house to this day. i bought the second house too......... for $500. thats right, you did not mis-read that, it was $500. the city just wanted it off their books. i spent about $5000 fixing that place up, rented it for about 5 years and then sold it for $10,000. my point here is, gustavo, you can start with next to nothing and make it work. you just have to believe in what you are doing and let nothing stop you. you are going to run into brick walls that try to stop you. there is an " almost real" force out there that seems like it just wants to stop you in your tracks. push on, let nothing stop you. get it into your head that you are going to do this no matter what stands in your way. i just sold a flip house in may for a $41,000 profit and i am now sitting with that in the bank. you can do this too. just get started.

I was looking at it from the stand point of, hopefully the lease didn't put you in a position where you were obligated for 2:00 a.m. calls -- so in this case it would be what the lease doesn't say that helps.

@Kevin Siedlecki there is no out of pocket expense as long as I have a tenant, and have it set up as a flip now but if a tenant chooses a L/O I stand to make 4x the flip within the three years, if they chose not to buy, then I will use the L/O again until a tenant follows through.
