Low cost investment that fast forward 3-5 years it will be worth much more allowing you to pull out equity/cash to buy more.I see investors buying $350K homes only cash flowing $400 a month, so Yes 100% good deal.

Market is still moving, but not as fast as it was last year. 

NOWHERE FAST.

I'd like to position myself as a one stop shop for home owners with distressed properties where I'd: 1) Provide a cash offer on there home - (with all the close fast, no hassle things)2) Help them list it or refer them to an agent in their area (keeping in mind that I would likely get a referral fee)3) Renovate their house for them then help them sell - I've got the team and know what renovations move the needleI'm beginning a period of what I hope to be substantial growth and I'd like to increase my flips/rentals at the same time so I'm wanting to ramp up my marketing.

For example, GA is a fast foreclosure state but the licensing hurdle is expensive.

I try to keep up, but in the summer time, they just grow so fast.

While there’s no hard-and-fast rule, many experts suggest renting it out for at least a year or two to demonstrate that it was an investment.

@Victor PengIt's definitely not a hard fast rule to have buyer representation. 

A few hard money lenders can close in as fast as 48 hours, which helps compete with all cash buyers. 

I have bought a number of houses that went through probate, divorce or illness, where the seller wanted to sell fast.
