Ive started by looking at the elementary school rankings.

Dallas, TX- Bathroom has mold- House is close to mailbox, entrance to complex, tennis court, and swimming pool- Walking distance to gas station, grocery store- Near Richland college- Audelia Creek Elementary is walking distance

Ewa I appreciate your input I think you are definitely right about not buying and holding yet at this stage of the game for me. 

Hi everyone,I'm in the initial stages of analyzing a deal (my first) that I'd like to move on soon (if the numbers make sense).

At this stage, I'm mostly absorbing so thanks for the pointers of what to look for.

I usually print out about 10 or so at the beginning and will print more depending on how many people who have called, texted, or emailed me.b) Bring along any "staging" items. 

I'm in the beginning stages right now and Am really concentrating on doing my homework.

That's what we are after really in our early stages.

Anyone have any luck using a staging company for a flip.

I am rehabbing my own home to sell and pull out my equity to use on future deals, please see the numbers below:Added value: 45KLess Cost of rehab: 27K (I didn't want to spend much more than 18K)Less Additional Realtor Fees: 2.7K (45,000 x 6%)Less Staging: 2KLess Holding Cost on Loan: 1KAdditional Equity Upon Sale: 12.3KSo, I guess the question is, is it worth it to take on the risk of the rehab for the extra 12K of profit, I think so.
