I had 500k in commissions I did not make for parcels under contract but I learned a TON.Just remember to have FUN and keep learning.

it's kinda sad when you remember Memorial day.. yeah.. that we were working on the houses.. and then Labor day... working on another house and PS-- summer is over... lol that's the third summer this has happened!   

Marketing is marketing and most of them work, you just need to use common sense and think about who your ideal client is.

Ideally, I'd like to form a relationship with a person or company that I trust.

Ask her what is her ideal property to flip. 

Get your criteria on paper before you do another showing,  put it in the hands of everybody who views  (along with lead disclosure,  WA landlord tenant law,  fair housing poster,  and everything else I cannot remember you are required to give people who are viewing)  and send copies post-haste to anybody you already showed who is still interested.   4)  I don't think it is illegal to change your price after advertising  (clearly it is OK to reduce your price, if nobody is biting)  but if you have already taken applications it would be kinda sleazy to change the price on them,  and if you do, make darn sure you communicate  the same exact price change for EVERYONE who has already viewed or you could be hit with discrimination claims.  

I just have so much more to learn now that I’m trying to make a business out of it.Overall it was a great investment property but its history just wasn’t ideal for me to take on by myself.

Also remember you can use your VA loan multiple times.

Remember, he/she works for you and you must macro manage his actions to make sure he/she stays sharp.  

Ideally, I would like to sell both homes, and build a new home that has an in-laws set-up, where they would live.
