I know short sale can take sometime because I would need the bank to approve my offer also and their agent (niece) is willing to show me the home before it goes on market and they are open to working on deal.Should I pursue this deal and what would be a good strategy for this?

I have exclusively fix and flipped properties and I'm considering changing my strategy.

But how do we get there, and what RE strategies do we pick along the way?

There will be so many people with divers investing strategies that it might be a good opportunity for you to get first person input from many different angles .

Those are complicated, often unsuccessful and maybe not the best strategy for you right now. 

You have more of what you need to do real estate now than 99% of folks that start.My best advice is to stay in construction (you have an established track record) and use those contacts to rehab properties using a BRRRR strategy.

I'm excited about renting it out and starting my BRRRR  strategy to success.

So...I recently bought a property planning on using the BRRRR strategy.

Also, as you self educate you will find a more specific strategy, the more focused you get, the more someone else can help you move forward.

Seemed to me that there may be legal issues with doing this, not to mention it just seems very unethical, and outrageous that someone would be willing to agree to a deal like that anyways on a $20-30k house.Any ideas on that strategy or how that would work?
