I am  real estate agent in Utah, whom is focusing on buy and hold, with the occasional flip.I was on BP a while back and have listened to most of Brandon's podcasts.I have read cover to cover The Book on Investing in Real Estate with No (and Low) Money DownThe Book on Flipping HousesThe Book on Estimating Rehab Costs I have listened to the entire The 2012 Bigger Pockets Summit - Conference Audio My goal is to build a JV relationship with a investor to get started.Hard work does not scare me!

Rent is flat for the full term of the primary lease ( occasionally you will see one with rent increases but they dropped the cap rate below market so blended cap is the same or less than buying one with flat rent).

$35k is extremely rare for a condo, but I do see them occasional if they are small and apartment style.

I have an uncle who has been flipping houses for a few years (who is my mentor) and a cousin who works with him and partners on deals occasionally. 

We will occasionally grant waivers for larger dogs if they aren't on the list, we've met them, we've visited their existing environment...etc.It never ceases to amaze me how many people try to sneak Pit Bulls past our screening process by using other names such as American Staffordshire Terrier or some other version of Terrier.

The bar is even occasionally open until 4 AM.

You run into the occasional hardhead every once in a while who wants to explain why he/she thinks they can hold on another month, but most people understand. 

Hi I don't live down there (my office is in Tampa) but we occasionally buy Bradenton REOs and resell them to investors down there.
