The fire service was a great profession and I loved it, but making ends meet was difficult at best.  

I am looking to focus on flipping in the Massachusetts market while also developing a steady growing portfolio of buy and hold rentals.  

Starting this diary late in development but maybe can still provide insight to some.

23 Years of Experience working Exclusively with Investors, Developers, Condo Converters, Builders, Foreclosures and Short Sales.At the age of 15, Liz knew her passion was Real Estate.

Account Closed  what you Don't understand is the deal is NOT done until its recorded. the Lawyer is a closing attorney and is neutral and has to take orders from both sides if one side says hey don't record I want to renegotiate then he or she is obligated to follow that order..Any one who recommends taking a lawyer to court absolutely  does not understand the legal profession or real estate transactions..

@Huiping Sheng  I haven't been involved in too many sinkhole situations in my remodeling business other than knowing a few people who've had some develop on their property. 

My goal is to develop the SYSTEM that systematically works to find off-market leads, acquires them, fix them enough to raise the rents, and either flip them or hold them (hold is preferred). 

I am a 27 year old business development and sales operations professional in the greater Seattle area.

I'll also cc @Dawa Sherpa on this - who is our calculator developer :)

I believe there are faster, more assured ways of developing long term cash flow than through owning rentals.
