I was wondering if there was a way to fats track it.

The City of Seattle cannot keep crying to "let them eat cake" when they are ones driving the car. 

Meaning if they accept now you're out a huge chuck of rehab cash and most importantly it will eat your time and keep you from finding better deals.But we've done a few of these anyway.  

Most agents who list for that amount are using the sign in your yard to get more buyers, and they're certainly not working to get your house sold, which just eats into your profit margin as your house sits on the market.

Eating up a huge chunk of my budget.

Debt service is not included in net income figures and eats away a lot of profit.

@Joe Au  its stands to reason they bought their trophy houses after they sold their companies. but 2 of my buddies had substantial homes and assets as they matured in business.... just like most of us.and it the primary resi's were very nice.. for many years.. but Greg s is correct its really apples to oranges.. if we were simply making financial investing sense we would all live in 800 dollar a month apartments drive the cheapest car we could .. never eat out never vacation and horde all funds into investments.. it becomes lifestyle choices.if you have been in this business as long as I have and have seen all manner of wealth and poverty.. you will run into Hoarders of both stuff and money.. or folks that never spend a dime live frugal only to die with millions in the bank and very little in their bank of life experiences.. 

The actual mail piece is what eats up your money.Also, I've noticed that the people you think would call because they need to sell (code violations or delinquent taxes) are the ones that don't. 

Himalayan Black Berries are a frickin nightmare though, so rent some goats to eat them, burn whatevers left (won't kill the seeds, but it gets rid of the brambles), and aggressively go after them when they try to regrow.

It can be somewhat costly and could severely eat into any profit margins you're able to earn on your first few rentals.
