I know it's super tempting but cutting corners is not a good way to start in the business IMO.

In other words a nice house in a good area just doesn't cut it in this particular case. 

Since the agreement is contingent upon court approval, I dont know if I have a leg to stand on now that the other side is fighting it.And yes, I did cut down my buyer's list to about half of what it was to get rid of the tire kickers and troublemakers.

Delinquent taxes are at least $54KMy (conservative) ARV estimate is about $77KI haven't set the appointment yet, but the seller says it needs a new roof and some float and tape work in the dining room area.I feel like these numbers are cutting it too close, to call this a deal.Any advice would be appreciated.Thanks,Keleigh

If I would have known what I know now I would have just cut my losses and took the proceeds to buy a rental.  

We had to watch them the whole time so they wouldn't cut corners.

So that cut down a lot of my expenses.

Like a lot of IRS policies, it is not cut in stone either as to who's actually in business and who is not, they have a list of criteria to look at and from there, it is really up to the auditor in charge of your audit (if you're unlucky enough to get one!)

Also, whatever you pay them they'll have to split with their Broker or give them a good cut. 

It took some convincing since each time I cut the guy's chain at the top of the street he came out threatening me and thus I had to call the police back.
