I’m looking to start out and connect with others that are in my market as well as the surrounding smaller cities such as Sanford and rocky mount.I’m looking to finally get some doors of my own as well as maybe do a couple flips.

Her brokerage listed the property, and she is taking me out there to do a walk through to determine if I want to take the next step. 

I'm going to be honest, it is kind of scary venturing into unfamiliar territory, after 19 years in the home health industry, but being part of Bigger Pockets gives me the confidence necessary to not give up or slow down. 

But I can't if closing costs are 3-5% for purchase price of each home. 4) How do I protect myself and give the seller assurance from renters with the structuring of the home insurance?

And they are clearly corrupt so it could get ugly.

It cost me $2500 for 400 sq ft. 

I do not but things are moving that way. 

Not saying I would abandon this if I can't qualify for the material participation, but it is a factor.Any input is much appreciated!

happens all the time with us, not a big deal if its a day or two.

So its not usually a requirement?
