Hey Nathan, I am in very similar shoes.

An asset 100% As you scale up there are always people that have been in your shoes--whether you're looking for 2 units or 2,000. 

I posted 24 hour notice then inspected the property, and all his clothes are gone, but there is trash, random furniture, shoes, and of course a kitchen heaping with spoiled food.  

Income from flipping properties is EXACTLY the same as income from a shoe store.  

We were all in your shoes once and 99.9% of the people on BP are willing to help without making you feel like a beginner.

If I were in your shoes, I would then generate a list of specific questions that pertain to her speciality.

If your agent or his broker, like mine, pays for "Showcase" listings, you can have up to 36 on realtor.com.Take a look on realtor.com, and search for local agents to the property.

.**2010 to now (worked myself to death)-basically i have been paying off between 2 to 3 rentals each year-because all of the profits go to lender i have pretty much been working nonstop -but on the flipside now i own 11 houses outright.i owe the lender on 2 more rentals (about 70 k) and clear about 10 thousand a month** now my question-if you were in my shoes -taking into account my credit situation -what would be your strategy to leverage your assets to pull yourself up from doing 6 to 10 deals a year to 12 to 20. i realize i will only get so far spending 80 percent of my time doing most of the work like i have been

Sounds like you've got a peach and if I were in your shoes I would keep it as a rental.

More than anything, you'll have to provide sufficient liquidity to cover debt service for this loan, and a solid asset to ensure the lender some comfort  - i.e. stable market, etc.If you already have a ton of liquidity and excellent evidence to showcase your ability to generate income, getting a loan of that size should not be a problem.
