There is a house that sold last year and was remodeled across the street and I'm fairly certain it is being rented now.

I determined the ARV by comparing similar houses in the area that have sold within the last 6 months.

I ran into a lot of construction problems this year when I tried scaling from 3 - 5 projects to 20-25 projects running at the same time.I have done a lot of flips in over the last sixteen years but I think BRRRR is an easier way to learn construction.On a flip, you have no room for error.  

While I'm no where near being able to quit my job, I have made progress over the last few years.

I wouldn't last one winter in your shoes! 

I've been listening to podcast over the last year and reading to prepare myself for crossing over the line to real estate investing.

My brother in law and I have been trying to purchase a rental for a few months now but we have been having trouble getting bids accepted.A few days ago we put in a bid on a short sale house last Friday.  

They want a high cap rate when the local to out of state buyers with an exchange with tax consequences are willing to buy lower on the cap rate.If they want value add they are also up against developers and other seasoned investors in the states with a long track record already and relationships with these sellers.

I host a monthly meetup every last Tuesday of the month in Fort Walton.

We also lead the investor group for the Volusia county chapter of CFRI, and meet on the last Thursday of the month in Daytona off of International Drive.
