I have some capital that I am willing to use to invest and I have done somewhat of a deep dive over the past couple months into real estate, including working towards getting my license (exam in a couple weeks) and I feel that I have a much better grasp on how this business works than I did just a short while ago.  

@John Thedford@Jd Martin (Sorry should've elabored I was posting this while at a red light). 

I am a little uncomfortable with someone who is looking for a house but doesn't have a full months rent plus security readily available-- that's a bit of a red flag for me. 

My wise advice for next time: Partner with HM or someone else that has deep/bigger pockets, if you are of the Rich Dad Poor Dad mindset you should never spend your own money. 

You may be able to get a loan but any of these red flags will limit the lending avaliability.

First red flagOriginally posted by cashboy2010: I'm not saying its another high priced, super slick, superbly marketed, REI gimmick...I'm just saying...If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck then.........

With new non-homestead taxes, upkeep, marketing, LLC fees and current and future repairs seem to be running us into the red.

While certainly not enough info to draw any hard conclusions, see the red flag for what is is worth at this point.If they don't answer or respond to their cell phones, meet agreed upon schedule for assuming utilities, signing the lease and moving in, are they displaying the characteristics of tenant you would really want?

Saying this house has been moved might srt off red flags.

I'd go for something VERY bright, clean, and cheery... something in the family of deep yellow/gold/orange-ISH, with a clear white trim.
