The goal is to hopefully gain real traction in this as a business before graduating so I can stick with it full time.I have enough savings to do some heavy direct mail campaigns, but of course the fear of my inexperience leading to losing it all without a done deal is holding me off the trigger. 

And now he bleeds you dry on payroll hours.Employees will bleed you dry if you aren't smart enough to keep them on track and and efficient.Most of the worst guys out there i have hired have "been doing this 30 years...."

crew of inspectors looked at one out of 5 units and basically just looked for leaks and dry rot.. and of course roof is easy and other issues.. but you cant do normal inspections. like your buying a house. 

My dry wall contractor has over 600 employees and a JET  for instance.The big subs on the west coast right now are just flat killing it.. not the lunch bucket day contractors but the for real companies.  

After accounting for all the standard expenses, it would cash flow well each month but I just couldn't pull the trigger after hearing that.

It is not lawful to hold a “double close” or a “dry closing” where the wholesaler doesn’t bring money to closing.

I’m deploying in a month, so this may not be the best time to pull the trigger.

I dont have the construction knowledge to pull the trigger on them , but got some thoughts from Pat's comment above

However, without the local insight it's hard to pull the trigger on a decision.

At this time, I hope to be confident enough to pull the trigger on my first property and will continue my progress by finding a real estate agent.I look forward to learning more from everyone and I hope to meet some of you in person at meetups.
