Last thing you want is to find out you've been taken advantage of.

I'm always concerned about this, and usually wait until the very last step to install appliances in my flippers. 

Does Jerry Norton Flipster really give you the phone numbers and you do have to get a skip trace on the owner?

Save some money and then a year after living in the property you can purchase another property with (3.5-5%) down and put the last one for rent.

Know that you will get phone calls / texts when something goes wrong or if your tenant is having issues w the property, etc.It all boils down to personal preference, goals, etc.Good luck!

A small example: Last year I went to see an MLS listing but the tenant would not answer the door to let me in even after an appt was confirmed.

I’ve been told the house has a mold problem and the home has gone under contract 3x in the last year and a half but they have fell through.

Sooooo many people are willing to hop on a phone call and help you through your situation. 

Property appraised for $140k last year. 

Over the last 3 years we have been working on and remodeling the cabin and getting to know people in the area.
