I don't need a quick buck with these my hope is that over time the owners in this area come to me when they are ready to sell. 

We got in to see the house that afternoon, so quickly that the listing agent didn't even have keys to the place. 

A quick follow up question on this - I do have a small consulting / freelancing gig on the side and will be a 1099 income, but it will probably be less than $2K for this year.

That 5K could be eaten up quickly by repairs that were not visible up front, and then there is still the fact that there will be closing costs too that will consume that 5K (even flat fee listing on the resale with a 2.5% commission to buyer's agent will take more than 3K alone).Maybe this can work as a "subject to", but that is another topic - and it might not be a good candidate for that approach because you still have that big rehab number.

Also you can't just make a scheme of owning 1% or something to get around it.. state will sniff that out quickly.

It pays some bills.Points goto sales and company principals.We’re considering moving to a flat fee on deals under $80k and $150k ARV.Not sure why people think quick financing to help you make $20-40k on a house should be super cheap when the lender is risking a lot of money on a person with low documentation.

Those flip shows have lower quotes because they use the same contractors every time and get deals from them because they promise work on the next house they flip.

I'm Watching a quick clip of Grant Cardone on youtube saying we need to be online, the best marketing tools are sites like facebook and Instagram.

It's a bank owned property and my agent doesn't think the bank would do a lease but could the real estate co write up a quick lease for me until we close?

Sure but BP doesn’t allow us to post phone numbers....a quick google search of their names you can find their website, they merged with the BDO.
