In my market, the vast majority of flipping is done in the $110-200k range on exit price.

But I'm also an investor myself, with over 50 single family homes and I have a vast knowledge of real estate investing.

I bought the duplex I live in when we were already in the life -- I had done multiple renovations and lipsticks flips on properties and apartments myself, had more my basic stock of tools in place, had my library of how-to books, had a few friends in the business I could ask for advice when needed.My over-under duplex was built between 1923 and 1927 for a local heiress, so I know exactly what it's like to live in a 100-year-old duplex.

The vast majority of persons I've known to have a "GC Nightmare" start the story with "I got bid's.... they had a great bid.... it was hell.".

I took mine in PA through real estate express and I will note that there are 2 sections, 30 hrs PA Fundamentals and 30 hrs PA practices, you have to sit for a final exam on each section in a public facility (school, library, etc.) with a proctor.  

@Kiersten Hegna First of all condo's and townhomes are VASTLY different things, and should not be lumped together at all. 

In college I worked as an appliance tech and this is a vastly overlooked part of cleaning ones home.

I've always allowed pets and I've been able to rent above the Zestimate every time.You could add more language to the ad if there are nice nearby neighborhood amenities . . .like parks, library?

@Aaron Mazzrillo   The vast majority of Armando's students in those days paid cash for those houses. 

Pierce are two vastly different markets.
