that was my line of thought from the beginning...but I felt that they shouldn't be getting half unless they paid  something ...not a lot but enough for me to purchase more signs and marketing materials for them and invest back into my company.

Long story short, the owners currently have a legacy version of Yardi and they would like to upgrade to a more modern, internet-based system.Two questions:1) What would BiggerPockets' recommendation be on new software?

I have a 740+ FICO, great income with my job (medical field) however with student debt (and some materials paying off for renovations still) i don't have much savings.I was thinking of refinancing into a conventional loan or a 5/1 ARM to save on MIP and interest rate and aggressively save x1 year to then try and purchase another fixer using an FHA loan again (because I can put down less).  

I think we paid under $40,000 back then for material and such.

Unless your spending your hard earned money on actual deals everything you want and need to know can be found right here on BP or the internet.

If I have the proper margins based on solid ARV, it's getting a solid ARV and rehab costs.I have been lurking and reading all manner of RE material for a year, I made a promise to myself that I would have something under contract by end of July.  

Look for someone who can present you per line item basis, and separate labor and materials, then buy materials.

Internet.

Spend some time at Home Depot or Lowe's, have a feel for material costs and speak to a couple of flippers or general contractors, be able to estimate labor with some degree of accuracy.Hope this helps!

Hey Victoria, it sounds like you and your husband have a solid grasp on what it takes to flip and most importantly remodel a home (the costs, materials, time lines etc...) which is a huge part of being successful in this business.
