@John Thedford I understand I'll have some work to do to get it noticeable, but all I'm really looking for right now is for a easy layout,  maybe some page ideas, and like Scott said, a look of a professional business. 

Easy answer is to have your own set of criteria that makes a house a viable candidate, and some alternate relationships to direct those that don't fit your needs.

That sounds like an easy choice - you could always try to sue the contractor and/or whomever you bought the house from in small claims court later if you're intent on getting the $500 back. 

What I like about this is that I also use Cozy for rent collection so it is easy to transition your tenants to this payment service if that is your preference.I will say this, I also check the local civil database for any open cases.  

Hi guysI'm new to real estate investing and I was considering applying the 50% rule to my deal analysis prior to asking my real estate agents for actuals.I'm assuming this will help build credibility with them and allow for more concrete inquiries rather than constantly asking them for information on deals that may never get done.What are you guys thoughts?

Tax rules are different as well - so understand the market you'll be doing the flips in.
