I would retain the communication where he told you that you would lose your security, because THAT is not legal and sounds like a threat to me.

This approach probably sounds tedious, but it has worked for me so far up to 5 properties.

Not a seasoned pro here, but it sounds like your agent is flat out not doing her job.

I would like to know the cost for slab or perimeter foundation.I got a 50k quote from someone on phone  for slab , which sounds too high for a 800 sq ft single story. on a flat piece of land

. $800 a month sounds fine to me.

Normally I’d say no but you got a psycho ex a toddler involved guns going off people being firedHalf dozens dogs running through the house .. sounds like an episode of COPS over there .

There are a number of purchase/sale/holding costs to look out for, that I compiled into this post here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/8814/70530-fix-and-flip-project-costs-purchase-sale-and-holdingI see that you're located in South Dakota, so in addition to those costs you'll also need to contend with the Contractor's Excise Tax, which is a 2% tax imposed on "prime" contractors engaged in "realty improvement projects" in South Dakota.

I'm also a Realtor, I know how important scripts are in order to sound confident in what you are saying.

@Jay Patel I second @Lane Register's reaction of wanting to meet up with you pretty much yesterday, haha, sounds like you have some great properties already. 

It sounds like you're in the right mindset by honing down what types of properties you're interested in and which markets you want to invest.
