I am an investor, self managing landlord, and GC, I specifically don't Want to get a realtor license so I’m not considered a real estate professional for tax designations so when I periodically sell something, I still qualify for long term capital gains.  

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.

Listing the home for sale will be $169K  Then I threw it on a website for rental at $2200 and there was alot of interest in renting it (and from what I could tell they were professional/career people which is typical in the area). 

I've gotten professional quotes so it looks like I could save a lot.

Being a professional flipper in America’s number one real estate market (48 house done to be exact)  and coming acrossed the many ppl that I’ve encountered that were slighted or feel slighted in the industry by these teachings, I just wonder if I can do good to anyone by teaching the honest brutal truth about how hard it actually is to become a mugel Flipper.?

You could have five different taxes or so in Harris county....county, cit, school, hospital, and maybe community college or others.Always close at a title company so they will help you collect and pay off the taxes and any other liens.This is a perfect opportunity for you. 

It was pretty tough emotionally because I have a family and my wife had recently had an extremely tough pregnancy including 3 months in the hospital.

Handling it professionally while still having a heart saved me money, helped me keep a good tenant relationship, and avoided an eviction and turnover.  

You find motivated sellers same way a wholesaler would, however now you are seen as a professional & you have 1,000's of other agents at your disposal to help you market for buyers.......Sound a lot better than blasting up craigslist ads & praying you sell the house in those 30 days before you loose that earnest money?

I think there is some fans that will tune out and that will trickle down.. when teams are bad they dont fill the seats.. when they are good everyone is on the band wagon.this is the big question with Raiders coming to Vegas .. but Portland has but one professional team..
