You have the mindset of a looser, motivation and hard work is your first objective on the path to success.

I mentioned before I have a little rehab company for some self-employed income. 2 guys I know bought some property that needed both rehab and on-site mgmt.

How many owners in your area, and even in her building, have recently walked away, and how is the COA paying for THOSE dues and assessments?

When making a bid I look at no longer 12 month mainly 6 months comps, previous purchase price, rehab and holding cost closing fees associated with the deal and commissions along with tax assessments.

So that means knowing your farm area and having the ability to quickly assess the house's ARV.

I am a self-motivated person and I am confident that I will be a happier person being my own boss and avoiding the dreaded 9-5.My goal is to learn as much as I can right now, work on setting up a great team in my area to work with, and get started asap.Any advice/encouragement is appreciated!!!!

At first I thought it would be a thinly veiled way of self promotion.

Obviously, I would try and market my self the first month or two if little or no response list the home with my agent. 150k at 6% is 9,000 now were at 131,600 the lowest comp is 149,00 and the highest is 167,000.
