I made a decision to stop flipping when I started a new career in 2012, but I always missed it and I continued to stay on top of the local market.My background is in retail management and most recently, auto dealership operations.  

A friend who stopped by who runs another auto repair shop in the area with his many brothers, offered to buy the building, cash, for $350,000.Mark was also happy because he had decided to retire and wanted to get all of his money from everyone who owed him.

I also think in highly desirable target markets like the ones you are targeting you can't auto-pilot your strategy.

The lease can lapse into auto renewal. 

"Auto correct" changed that on me before noticing it

Once we tackled the student loans, consumer debt and auto loans, we started saving for a rainy day fund.  

As long as people know you are professional and will do everything possible to make them money you will be able to chose who you prefer to work with on deals.After a while you will develop relationships with like minded people and go out to make your dreams reality.Incredible wholesalers are like honest mechanics.

No issues as of yet, although we are holding off on putting all the new appliances in until after there are no more showings.I know some investors with 160 rentals of mostly single family homes in the Chicago suburbs who don't use Rently or Showmojo, they just use mechanical lockboxes, and give out codes and tell people that the house has an alarm and cameras and if they aren't there at the right time the silent alarm will go off and cops will come.

From the paperwork that I received (from a structural/mechanical engineering consultant), it seems that there was foundation work done to level the home and the final leveling of the house ranges from -1.4-0 in the garage and -0.3-0.1 in the home itself.The opinion of the company that did the foundation inspection is that the property is satisfactory and meets 2012 IRC building codes.

Only washer dryer and mechanical rooms.I will buy it as is.
