I have a deal I am working on that has a motivated group selling their parents house.

Even within the same city you can have multiple school districts or even city/county schools and most parents will only make the switch during summer months.

I figured that this would be a good last stop before paying for a real estate attorney consultation.My wife's parents are buying us a condo for our move to Miami.

There is a house across the street from me, single mother with one child in high school.

@Forest Ritchie my parents started that way - my dad "flipped" cars (he was a mechanic and knew how to do some body work) in order to get enough cash to start buying rentals.

I would like to attend an REI club meeting but so far it does not work in my schedule as I work full time and have sporting activities with my child.

We're a couple of young parents with three small boys and one full-time job.

Now I'm ready to settle down back in Connecticut as I have a child on the way.I want to get back into the construction business but this time flipping houses.I actually have found a property that i will be flipping (just wainting on the closing next week).Here are my questions: Considering I will be doing most of the work on the house my self.Do I set up my home improvement business again?

BTW I've done rehabs... broke even on my first home, had to do a deed in lieu on my second one (lost $20k of my best friends money), had to do a deed in lieu on my third one (lost $20k of my parents money), and made $72k split among 3 partners on the 4th deal... it's not as easy as the shows make it seem (and I've learned the lessons the hard way).

Your true intent is something only you will know.You are certainly entitled to be compensated for your labors, what you labor at and the reason why you do it may not be about money being the primary goal.Is serving in the military just about the money, does a minister run his church because it's just about the money, does a firefighter answer a call just for the money, or does a cop find a lost child because of money????
