(often they need the place so bad they even let me clean up while the are getting organized, so ofter we only have one or two half a day to do it) If they market is not as hot, just offer two weeks of free rent if they sign lease now, and while they live in the unit for free, make the improvements to the unit.ps even if you want to give them free rent, make sure they pay your full month of rent deposit etc... and just "pro rate" the following month to be on the safe side!

I've recently begun further market research and been reading a lot about doing flips.

The more organized you are the better you look from an underwriting perspective.

@Matthew Dick , Come out to the meetup I organized for this Friday in SF, and meet about 60+ other investors and ask them what they are doing (including CEO of this website!).

Yes, email them back and keep your waiting list organized.

I have the makings of a great plan and I just need to get it organized into a plan of action.

If I know it is a real steal, I will go ahead and grab it, but not worry too much about amassing a stockpile of things.I tend to be overly organized, so thought having some things handy and certain styles ahead of time might direct some of the choices during the rehab.Have read up on most of the posts here, but will also check out the pod casts - thanks for the tip!

We would host international visitors through an organization we belonged to, just for a few days.

I wish I was as organized as you on showings!

The organizers for these meet-ups are @Troy Fisher , J.
