Id like to pay my repair guy via paypal to get him paid faster andnot waste his time driving around.

I'm a real estate broker, so I do have access to finding properties easier and faster and finding comps for the ARV value.

$150k with solid income behind it is a pretty good start in either... which also means you can make a BIG mistake.If you're looking at rentals, get familiar with the 50% expenses and 2% rents concepts for evaluating deals.If you want to flip, look at the 65% ARV - Repairs concept.My opinion, rentals are easier as there's less to estimate (don't need to figure out ARV, don't need to budget repairs as much, simply need to determine market rents for the unit) but flips generate faster short term cash.Is this going to be your day to day job and thus salary or is this a long term investment strategy?

You typed faster than me, that and I went a little long winded.
