Not to say it’s the bad choice, but it impacts your numbers and potential exit.

Used units have no warranty , in one month when it goes bad you will be buying a new one .  

Could have just been bad luck on that deal so I wouldn't go as far to say the whole area is bad, but my personal experience wasn't great. 

It's not the best area but it's also not too bad, and I know people who have happily lived in that area.

So I'm thinking about getting a hard money loan and picking up these higher-end properties and just farm out the fix work and skip the houses with really bad problems...but ones with normal problems I can probably get done.I did 35 flip but I'm 70 years old ...in good condition....and I wonder, do you think the bigger projects will work out.  

@Marie WitheliduaYou are getting into a conflict with irrational people with an obvious history of making very bad choices.

Brian...thanks..... if you buy a note and get a deed transfer it works easily once the banker or lender agrees...might take a few arm twisting but they do not want non performing notes at the bank.Pretty easy really...and gets a owner off the sherrif sale hook and the bank is finished with a deal going bad fast.

You can have ten houses and one bad renter who doesn't pay and maybe 4 that are always late....end of dream...nightmare stuff.  

hey guys thanks for taking the time out of your day. so I have some options here I want your opinion about me and my sweetheart are saving bucket loads, she is living with family and I live in a bad area. now once we get married and live together I do not want to expose her to this horrid area it is very very very dangerous for a pretty women.

Income wise, 2017 was 6 figures after all expenses. 2018 isn't bad so far but I'm pissed about 2 deals that I almost had which were about 60k profit combined, in one month.
