Even though I've worked within many parts of the industry, there's still so many areas I haven't touched so not sure I could speak to them.That being said, speaking from experience as someone who worked their way up the SFR route with fix and flips, buy and holds, and other creative financing strategies, here's who you might want to know: - Wholesaler/bird-dogs (or somebody who finds deals for you)- Investor Friendly Mortgage Lenders (for financing)- Investors in the areas you want to buy in.

I do have a 30 year fixed note on one of my duplexes.  

Is the $3600 I just spent to fix a broken sewer pipe a repair to expense all this year or a capital outlay to be depreciated? 

Hi All,I am doing some research and would like to find out the numbers of builder that doing fix and flip in Seattle Metro. 

Another Fix and Flip or first time multifamily??

A Single Family landlord is going to do books different than a fix and flipper.

get a more accurate number on value2. how much in fix up?

Ignore everything in window 1 after 12 months- Repeat as neededHowever, if you have a fixed rate loan at a good interest rate, I suspect that the money you are using for those "extra payments" might well be better spent on another property.

My interests lie with Fix and Flips as well as buy and holds.My question for you all is if there is a way for me to really get started with little money to invest?

You have to value your time - if you have the time to fix them up, then the deal is solid...if you don't have time to swing a hammer, slop some paint on, or replace a toilet, then you're better off going retail.One frustrating thing is there are many folks these days that are buying some of these run down homes  then attempting to rent them out or seller finance them on the condition that you make the repairs.
