I was wondering where do you find construction estimating software? 

Those of you who have purchased commercial properties know that buyer agent commission isn’t readily advertised and is part of the negotiation on the sales contract.

Then the third personal residence I bought paid $139,000 and lived there for a long time and sold for $500,000 cash in two days and used the Section 121 tax free sale. 

Purchase price: $120,000 Sale price: $260,000 My first flip.

There are lots of SFH and MF units coming on sale but they don't seem to have a positive cashflow.

There would be no tenants I would have to deal with, only setting up a date for renters to move their stuff in and out.I'm also wondering if it would be a better idea to rent out the entire basement, or break it up into smaller rentals (i.e. a 30x30 space or a bunch of 10x5 spaces etc.)I'm imagining there is a market for people who need to store boxes for a quick move etc., but I can't imagine one person filling the entire basement so that's why I'm considering breaking it up if possible.

It looks like the only drawback is the approval process that need the lenders to approve the deals.I saw one short sell in my area and I wonder if any of you have already found a bad short sell deals ?

Typically, people will quit claim deed the property over into the LLC's name knowing that they run the VERY small risk that the lender could call the loan due using the due-on-sale clause.

Then people wonder why investors don't want to invest in these places and the housing stock turns to garbage... 

Purchase price: $420,000 Cash invested: $40,000 Sale price: $519,000 This was one of my first flips that I took on in June of last year!
