I am using some of my real estate wholesale money to start a T-Shirt design business.

HUD has gone through big changes in the last few months with many being negative.They are doing a lot of things that do not make sense.I haven't sold a HUD property in years because I just do commercial real estate now.Really think about this point for your career.If I a house is priced at 80k as the listing broker I will be paid.If you work with a buyer and ten offers are submitted you have only a 10% chance of getting paid with the accepted winning bid.On the REO side many have left the listing side because of asset managers 1% referral fee leaving them 2 if they are lucky before their broker split if they are not the broker.Count in BS designations that count a few hundred apiece each a year,conferences,computer platform fees,extending money for rekeys,offering cash for keys,and low price points and you make almost zilch for a big headache.With the Robo signing fiasco many banks are sitting on properties they own.This makes asset companies have to recruit agents for promise of potential listings by collecting fees.

This is one of the major design flaws in their budgeting process.

The sign stapler was designed at my kitchen table.

-GeoffMake sure there is adequate weatherstripping in doors, insulation in attic so that tenants don't get stuck with high high utility bills unnecessarily.

You can spend 10 Grand on a great website design, but see no results without proper marketing to promote your site. 

Some parts of Cobb county are great and others are not.Maybe messaging J Scott would be good as he works Cobb pretty well with his rehabs.Some parts of Cobb are now designated as flood zones from the big flood that happened so make sure you are not purchasing in those areas.

And that is the place I see most investors messing up in, the investor acts as the contractor, trying to hire subs, order materials, plan and design a project, and direct work. problem with that is if they are not very skilled in construction, they may miss a lot, not build to code, and have many fall out issues.

Everything as in, doors, knobs, HVAC, furnace, water heater, plumbing, lighting, everything.

I would definitely want approval over the design and construction.
