I was preparing for a month or two of vacancy and I got 3 days #winning. 

I am open to deals anyway I can get them, MLS or not, as long as it's a win win.

And who is to say that when you locate that GREAT DEAL that you will be the winning bidder? 

I'm putting in a big open floorplan so I'm concerned that if it repeats too often, it will be easily spottable. 5) What's the wear layer?

Remember you win in this game when you BUY the property.

He immediately told me to stay away from the deal because the new flood lines put the property in the flood zone which I would not be able to locate easily, especially if I did not have updated maps.

(While we're making wishes, why don't I throw a winning lotto ticket in there).

I invest in tax deed properties in Ohio, which has a slightly unusual system in that if you 'win' a property at auction, you only have to pay a deposit on the day (usually around 10%), and the full amount is not due until the sale is confirmed by the court (ohio is a judicial state), which is usually a few weeks later.This is sort of like having a property 'under contract', when you would normally go off and try to get funding for the rehab / a buyer etc.

You can time block your day/week into different activities pretty easily though.Do you have knowledge or experience investing in real estate?

Since he is also contributing financially, it could be a win win situation for both of you.
