I'm not going to pretend that it is what I've been doing here, I personally decided to focus on buy and hold in a more numbers friendly market back home in FL, but if that many houses are selling for a premium then it seems that if you can find any of the deals that aren't going through the more traditional sources you'd have a good potential for profit.

This of course exposes me to bigger profits, especially if I open up and get people working for me and doing more than one rehab at a time.

I didn't think this was a bad trade-off because I know that if I get one REALLY BAD tenant that person could destroy hopes of any profit for a year or longer.

I like the idea of growing a portfolio of rental properties which I can help fund with the profits from rehabbing.

You find the deal, they give you the money for the purchase plus rehab, and after you flip it, you give them a percentage of the profits.

It was also a nice hedge for if the market changes and single family homes rise in value I can sell for a larger profit.

The economics are not there for the arts.The 501 c 3 non-profit art sector was lobbied for and instituted by the likes of Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Mellon.

Or do you find it really doesn't matter it just depends on the situation. if you were to make the same profit either way and it wasn't significant then I can see that's where to use the assignment so I don't have to pay double closing fees.

Saving money on these items adds more profit for your deal.

I made a profit of 20k and I believe 2 years later the buyer turned around and made 20k.
