I had created 100,000 in equity and was ready to begin my dream of buying fixer uppers when bang!!

The less I have to do to get it market ready and if the house is in a good area that I could see it moving pretty quick then I will be much more flexible on the profit i am looking for in the end.

I then did the rehab myself, working nearly every day in January, including weekends to get the property ready to rent.I use the term rehab fairly loosely in this case, because the rehab consisted of interior paint throughout, new carpet, fixing some plaster walls, new appliances, some minor DIY plumbing and electrical, and basica cleaning.

Sorry, some other project paid more so we blew you off and fixed it when we were good and ready" Well hell if the other job paid so much more, why doesn't he give you a big fine discount?

My part in this, is when an investor would like us to get them these listings, I start a file that is ready with all of their information such as credit reports, bank statements, 1003s everything ready to go so when they find the property my file is ready to move fast and send to our hard money lender.Does anyone know of any Hard Money lenders that lend at less than 18% interest and can close in 24 hours?!

If you negotiate the short sale, you can sell it to a client, but, as Christy said, you had better be ready to close.

I am ready to start investing in real estate ASAP!

Then you buy a large and very pretty area rug for the center of the great room when the place is ready to show.Tile in the dining room is just fine.I'd take the tile up if I wanted to change it.

Still learning but now ready to jump in if I find a good deal!
