Make sure you are comfortable with the risk/reward tradeoff.I know people who make a lot of money doing this, but I've decided its not right for me.

Do your analysis, understand your opportunity costs, and target invest where you are comfortable.2% might work well in some places, but might not elsewhere.

The plan designs itself based on the financial profile of the market(s) you are investing in, matching the financial criteria your "financial goals" dictate.

There is no need to have an agent involved but if it makes you feel more comfortable go for it.

The design looks cool. 

But if you could go part time and keep maybe 50% of that income so you are not on the bread line..it would free some time to start in real estate while not putting too much pressure on yourself.Plus...as a newbie banks/lenders tend to take some comfort that you have a steady reliable income of some sort until you can prove yourself in fix & flips etc.Best of luck to you.

I had my new postcard design on 99designs and it looks extremely custom and local to my area since the image on the front is a picture of a landmark in our town.

I was in LA County and it's a difficult market but I went to one that I am very familiar with and more comfortable investing and doing business in.

Hopefully getting myself out of the rat race with minimal risks.Interested in renovation and flip projects as my passion is building design.

Just wanting to warn everyone about possible issues with using the provided title services associated with a Hubzu auction property.This is what happened to me on a recent transaction on a fix and flip property that I bought in Northern Kentucky just outside Cincinnati.Hubzu’s contract states, basically, that if the buyer uses their designated title agency (Premium Title / Altisource) for title work and closing then the seller will pay the closing fees and owners title policy.
