As I am looking into this to decide if I need to also snag myself a license in those other state's I am thinking that the marketing of the actual individual property addresses themselves is something that will require a license........Hoping I am wrong in that assessment as it's another layer of red tape..........Any thoughts you can shed for me?

Unfortunately, this only stays a step ahead of the crooks and there no great solutions that are obvious (to me at least).Good that you dodged a bullet Kelly.

the red one. 

Can I increase the purchase price and get the seller to give this to me at closing as part of the down payment?

My parents moved in and lived with me at the property after the rehab was complete in 2009 and they have lived there since.

Something doesnt make sense to me at least.

I also read that when calculating my live-in cash flow, it is sometimes not bad to come up negative if this value is still lower than what one would be paying in rent elsewhere.Please do correct me if my thinking is wrong or too narrow-sighted.To expand on the topic, knowing that cash flow may be small or negative when house hacking, is there a tolerable minimum Cap rate before I should be seeing a red flag on a property?

When one buys a high priced distressed property, fixes and flips, there isn't much meat left on the bone. 

For those vacant those are even worse as I have had a few end up in the red.

@Robert Burris Not enough meat on the bone for me.
