I don't like spend my life focusing on such things as checking new sales from Costco and going there at Tuesday because that's when you can get on 10 cents per coke less than in any other day.

In my limited experience foreclosing, we had to hire a lawyer and give different kinds of notice to our tenant & then buyer, publish in a local newspaper, and *not* earn several months of rent, plus we had to spend money  to repair damage that the disgruntled tenant buyer caused to a newly renovated property, while on the way out of said property.  

Instead try attending happy hours and other of those types of meetups where you can spend more one on one networking and getting to know people.

Why would they spend $5,000 on an ugly *** ceiling light but then have to cut out the bathroom remodel because they are over budget?"

You’re right @Michael Badin for me the past few years being super busy with my job and needing to spend as little time as possible on my real estate business, less headache has been a good exchange for slightly less profits.  

. -  if I ever have to spend money on capex, or roof..in the next 1-2 years.

It's a 500M development well unless they have approached you they probably don't need you .its just like the 4 acres I own next to the largest casino on N CA  that they just spend 400 million building.I am zoned multi use resi commercial but until I have a user .. no joy.. 

@Ryan BlakeInDouble double closing Could involve spending money for escrow right ?

Check title on every property for obvious issues before you spend a lot of time on it. 

No reason to spend extra money if it's not proven that you'll get it back at the end of your flip.
