Very few succeed with this model and those who do are the contractor types who are driving around in their work truck putting out fires all day.

From there, we moved to FL and I found several houses by driving around or riding my bike in the neighborhood.3.

That said, I’m also open to other investment opportunities (especially those within a reasonable driving distance of Austin).I’d love to connect with anyone who has strong knowledge of the Austin / regional market or experience with similar investment strategies, so feel free to reach out.

I did a search on vacant properties and then did a drive-by test yesterday.

You can drive for dollars, go after pre-foreclosures, distressed sellers, PPC, organic search SEO, MLS expired, FSBO's, r.e. agent network, estate and probate, on and on and on. 

So yes, you need to set aside enough money to pay future taxes.Taxes are calculated only on your net profit - i.e. after everything is deducted, including labor & materials, holding costs, financing costs and business overhead such as marketing and driving. 

If your guests are typically driving in from nearby, then perhaps Fri-Fri.AnyDay-AndDay could still leave gaps in your schedule. 

I am curious how many people reached out to a local flipper and said "hey can i shadow you and check in on projects for you doing drive-bys and inspections or make calls to coordinate subcontractors".. 

hello @Lucia RushtonWhat are the factors driving jobs growth in Forney?

It sounds like also I should subscribe to dealmachine and start driving for dollars, start a marketing list for direct mail, phone numbers, etc. of about 500 properties to market to at least 6 times.
