Long story short I never got a chance to actually flip a house but a property owner offered me a gig screening tenants for his vacancies.

Hello Everyone,     We bought our starter house in Ft Worth 76118 in 12/2008 through a short sale, so we got a great deal.

or is the home at market rate but there is something extraordinary about it like a big company has recently moved there, good schools, and some nearby favorable attractions (starbucks, etc.).  

In short this means that it produces more energy than it consumes.  

short of making a list of banks to call and be upfront about what you want.

Hi @Len Roche .Rate shopping only counts as one hard inquiry - as long as you do them in a fairly short timeframe - 14-30 days depending on the lender.

Long story short--turns out IndyREI didn't even do the rehab themselves.

Would it be beneficial to re-contact the owner to see what he would sell it for now, or is it out of his hands and into the banks (and now a short sale), or should we wait until the sheriff sale if the property isn't withdrawn?

Looking to grow to do multiple projects simultaneously, need to figure out how to secure short term capital funding to facilitate this

Flipping provides a short term gain, which typically people use to get started in rentals or some other form of passive income.
