If you understand MBTI, you will know that there is nothing wrong with you, some people just make emotional decisions (Feeling) by default, and others make rational decisions (Thinking) by default.24k repair seems too low.

I see unexplainable debts (possible amounts owed to prior landlords) and late utilities as bad, but the rest is just the poor personal fiannce habits or life circumstances that make applicants renters rather than owners.- Having roots in the community, normally having lived in that neighborhood for several years, or in this case being close to her parents adds screening points.

Too many times I've seen poor rehab designs cause flip properties to sit on the market well past 100 days only to be sold at a discount (loss for the investor).Don't be fooled into thinking design is easy and anyone can do it!

Take it from a guy who's had the good fortune (or bad judgement) to buy many new cars and trucks that aren't nearly as wise of a choice as a Civic: you're decision to pick that model is an indicator that your judgement is sound and will enable you to successful in the long run.

On this side of getting my license and working in the industry, I can tell you it's not a clear black-and-white decision where having your license is obviously better.

I want to compare what my realtor has recommended and see if there is any overlapping in order to make a sound decision.  

Just look at the return that you would make and let that drive your investing decision.

Once you start opening stuff up you have no choice, we hate getting locked into full gut jobs but when the condition is so poor your hands are tied.

Any insight is appreciated.You should look at several brokerages before you make a decision.

Being driving distance from my investments has always been my comfort and it wasn't really until I connected on BiggerPockets and listened to the experience and feedback from others that I built the courage and made a decision to invest out of state.
