Nothing is going to work consistency forever.

Bring it in :-)I've been consistently analyzing deals in LA on a daily basis and had to keep writing "Damn" on the bottom of  my pages of paper after analyzing that the property will not cash flow.

I just have to be a contrarian here @Caleb Heimsoth  as Caleb states I cannot think of anything risker than remote rehab for beginners.. keep in mind the author is a very experienced real estate professional and what works for him simply is not germane for beginners I know they want to sell books on this site.. but I fear there is going to be some really sad people that try to do this and simply don't know what they don't know.. all to just save 5 to 10k  extra that a flipper that does all the work and takes all the risk makes bringing you a finished product.. you can lose 10 to 20k in a heart beat doing this if not more.. 

If invested right it would also provide me with a little extra cash to roll into something new.

Even though I can understand the reasoning on getting an FHA loan and the fees and other extra costs you have to pay, 4 unit houses are just too risky for what you are possibly getting from  a Bank.A Bank might offer the lowest interest rate, it's not the only lending source you can use. 

Other options are: 1) Ignore it 2) Send them notice of extra pet deposit and fees if they want to keep second cat 3) Tell them they will be evicted for breaking the rules of the lease which states one cat?

I imagine realtors have plenty of work so they aren't interested in doing extra legwork for a potential deal. 

Now I'm starting to finally take action and am hoping to learn from the BiggerPockets online community as my partner and I take on this new journey.If you're in the VA Beach/Norfolk/Chesapeake area investor and need an extra hand painting walls at your rental place, need help with a project, or would like to pawn off some of your paperwork - I'm your person. 

Although the bill will still be in our company's name, and we will pay it, just with the "extra" money generated from that new statement.

Been looking for a few weeks now for some consistent and reliable wholesalers in SoCal, mostly in the Inland Empire area, to pick up some deals from.
