She told me just like this hire workers that do great work , have a timeline for the flip she said about 3 months is a good time another thing that I  found interesting if they don't get it done in that timeframe the lender charges them an extra 1500 each month until home is sold to get money back.

I know people that have spent money on courses and workshops, but personally I would rather put that money towards an investment.

I'm already migrating away from Quickbooks next year, so I will no longer be an Intuit customer for any of their products.There are several other options -YNAB, Empower/Personal Capital, Quicken Simplifi, Monarch Money, etc.

I just don't know if OC is too saturated with rentals for the summer and we would not bring in positive cash flow to make money off the rental.

My friend loaned someone money for a real estate deal. 

The goal is to make money.  

Some other possibilities to a property manager could be a money partner of say a realtor, or other who are in the area and could manage the properties for you both. 

(how much money you get back out).

Money well spent.

I have enough money saved for marketing that it's time to take on another marketing channel. thank you!
