We both talked about the hard work, long hours, big mistakes, but total satisfaction we had when doing flips in Chicago.Fact is:I love looking at real estate: When I look at buildings, I can’t help but think “how could I make this better?”

Because of his excellent record as a tenant I was willing to be patient.

Be patient and things will work out because you are determined.

A brand new home, a one-year builder warranty, built by a reputable builder with a nearly 99 percent customer satisfaction rating, the auctioneer emphasized.

Be patient and let the deal come to you.Good luck

Rehabbing (and flipping) seems most promising to me, as I don't really want to be a landlord again, and I kind of like the satisfaction of a job well done, that ends up nicer than it started.Here's my personal 'pros':- Can use my own capital - the nice side of having sold my biz a few years ago :) Saves me time/money on lenders.

Wow.All i have to say is, anyone giving you advice on here is way more patient than I am.

We bought our first flip at the auction and the second one was word of mouth but we still check the auction quite a bit but it's pretty tough competition - we usually get outbidded but i'm pretty conservative and patient so I think that works in my favor:)

Even though this is the advice you don't want to hear- be patient.

Sorry, you'll just have to be patient.
