I am at work, but my wife just called and said she put in several hours at one of our new properties cleaning the oven and stove.

Put in what my minimums and get 500 results.

There's no way you'd want to put in the time required to do something like this by hand.

Further in front out from under the roof put in a fire pit.

I think the repairs need will be below $10K unless I put in new kitchen cabinets.

The advice and questions on BP have really helped me work through a lot of complications that inevitably arise in these deals.I am also a big believer in getting out what you put in, and that includes networking.

In essence, this is a no money down deal for me because the down payment did not come from my pocket but from somebody else.My skin in this deal is the marketing and effort I put in to find the deal and locking it up.

If you ask the agent for additional photos, they say they don't have the photos, suggest your agent takes them, or wants you to pay for them.To be clear, I'm not talking about $1,000.00 REOs that have been gutted or target practice for Molotov cocktails, but decent looking homes in decent areas where the agent just doesn't seem to want to put in the work.So, are we looking at: 1) agents are too scared to go to some of these neighborhoods or 2) agents are just lazy and not as little as possible to close the deal or 3) something I'm missing?

If I put in 20K in cash and have 50K to use in credit, I just might have enough money to do a little flip.

Put in carpet and rented the first weekend after that.
