Good flippers are great clients to have, especially if you respect one another's goals, professional opinions, insights, and experiences.Once your client has purchased their property to flip, don't disappear on them.

I think that I can afford a smaller home (1,200 sq.ft or less), but it would be towards the upper range of my budget (approximately $600K).

Credit scores are highly over-rated IMO as long as they are in a decent range.

There are a lot of homes for sale it seems in the 30k-50k range.

Louis and Memphis are more reasonable in that price range.  

I would like to work around 3-5 hours a week to start outside of the EST 9-5 time range.

There are endless strategies for house hacking, and I have worked with clients ranging from single individuals up to full families, or couples with a new born.

I looking for a realtor that can help me find a studio or 1 bedroom apartment in the $600-$900 range.

Like others have said the rate varies but it has been within a very narrow range for me.

I say that with all due respect, but that's not how our market is working right now.
