Have you been dreaming about flipping houses? If the answer is YES, how much will it really cost to renovate an investment property?These revised editions of J Scott’s bestselling books will show you how to walk away ...

Take that as a compliment from a guy who has averaged 66 hours per week since I was 18 in the car business, and still do it today at age 51.

The paperwork I had to fill out to sell my house in 2015 was three times as long as the rental agreement I signed that year.As food for thought on how landlords might be impacted eventually by the trends today, think about artificial intelligence replacing humans.

Did the walk through today and now the floor tile and under floor will need to be replaced in one room. 

Totally Agreed today out driving for dollars, any neighborhoods youd say to give a look?

*** The attorney from Title Agency called me today and notified me that the title company will return our original money, and that we will need to pick up the original check from them.

Today I showed the property to a few guys who are interested in renting the house for themselves and their work buddies.

We're getting $1950 rent.Re-reading my original post made me laugh as an applicant alerted me today that one of my houses is listed on Craigslist at $1200/mo and when I looked, it was a scam-someone had stolen my pics and content and reposted with their contact info.

Here's my concern, I visited the property today, and given the neighborhood, I would NEVER choose to live there or see someone I care about live there.

Given where we are in the cycle, if the numbers make sense in today's market, but not in a worst-case scenario, I personally would not pursue the deal.That being said, you shouldn't NOT buy properties just because of where we are in the cycle, you just have to run the numbers very well, be confident in them, and plan for the worst-case scenario.Robert Leonard
