Is this a solid strategy?

Build solid relationships.

My approach is to have solid answers for the questions that are posed by several of the post respondents.

I am not a big fan of cabinet painting but if you have older solid wood vanities painting them gives you a big bang for the buck and it is an easy touchup when you turn over the property. 

Presented the numbers along with solid comps What was the outcome?

All but one of the windows is boarded up but, from the outside, the house looks otherwise to be a solid flip.

If you have solid leads that close, plenty of companies would live to partner (now how to find good ones is another discussion entirely.)

But if you are having a hard time renting right now I would look at some of the those root causes.  

We prefer blue collar areas that are safe so aren't interested in low c or less, high C and solid Bs are great.

If you need a solid lender I can pass you some info on the one I’m using. 2nd, you need to find a Realitor who deals with investors from out of state. 3rd, pick what property type you want. 4th, are you going for cash flow or appreciation?
