Hello, I have been using Launch Control for about a month and already got one small deal from it.

I had a professional photographer shoot the listing photos and the place where it was advertised is the main website out there, and my photos were one of a few professionally shot listings.

I’m not looking to have an active membership with a realtor association at this time.

The kind of deals that make other investors wonder how you’re always one step ahead.

Sure it can be a write off, but my question is if it is the highest and best use of your time (or the given employees time) to be running a skid steer - transporting it, storage, maintenance, cleaning, etc, and if it still makes sense if you need to hire someone to run it for you and take care of the other things.Add up all those recurring costs - maintaining the machine, maintaining the trailer, having a large enough truck to tow it, insurance and registration for all of the above, your time or your employees time related to all of the above...even at $14k a year it might be attractive enough to keep paying that and having them drop it off at the job site for you.A brand new machine could easily cost you over 6 figures - that's 7 years of rentals at $14k/year before including all the holding costs. 

This is the best way to start becoming a real estate investor in my opinion, I did the exact same thing by taking out that HELOC to buy a new one. 

Hey Sathya, Unfortunately i don't know too much about the RI market so i couldn't really give you a good answer on that one.

This is about the only time in my life where I will be able to save money without finantial burdens and I just dont want to screw it up.

However, this will be my first time to visit Mexico! 

And I would never trust one to do a flip.
