Are people struggling to find properties for sale that still have enough meat on the bone for an investor to turn the profit that they want after resale or rental?

Off market is pretty bone dry right now as well.

There are lots of things that I have learned when rehabbing my unit and buying this first deal but the biggest thing I've learned (and am thankful for on my place) is buy something with good bones. 

Yes home prices are way up but so are rent prices and occupancy rates.Still plenty of cash flowing meat on the bone in the same markets there always was.

I doubt Community College will teach you anything you will ever use to make money in this business.If it did, the teachers would all be driving Rolls Royce's and living in multi-million dollar mansions--they are not.If you want to learn about SFH's (the bones and the guts of them) vs being a hammer swinger putting up framing (which you don't need to go to college to do)...study to be a home inspector at someplace like the InterNachi... https://www.nachi.org/become-home-inspector.htmOnce you earn the badges you will know your stuff about SFH inspections.But still that's a big commitment and it's not needed to make money in this business...you can hire Home Inspectors, just like you can hire tax pros, bookkeeping, and etc...If you want to learn how to "put in cabinets", "replace a toilet", "shingle a roof", add a dormer, etc...you can learn on YouTube fast and easy.If you want to learn how to frame, get a job 9 to 5 with a framing contractor, and get ready to WORK HARD.Here is a 582 page picture book of how to build a house: https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Visual-Guide-Building-House/dp/1600850227Sit down next to a Keurig Machine with a book like this and your favorite mug and learn at your own pace.  

I have been building rapport with this individual for years and have finally been given this bone, any tips are greatly appreciated.

It needed work, but had great bones and was a good flip How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

@Matthew KirkwoldMy properties are under my LLC but for two.The LLC owned properties I manage and pay myself to be the property manager.I have no bones about disclosing that I own the other properties.

There was plenty of meat on the bone so we made it happen. so far it has proven to be a great performing asset and we have plenty of equity in this red hot market!

I'm like a dog on a bone and am going to go hunting for hard money.
