Investigating getting my real estate license to fund said flipping/ investing--found I really enjoy sharing my wealth of experience with 1st time buyers and those looking to relocate. 

These look good on paper based on a few preliminary factors, and I plan to better acquaint myself with the neighborhoods while I'm there.

As I mentioned I was going to protect my equipment and my family, and to that end I purchased some gfci outlets for anything that might be potentially hazardous and isolation transformers for the equipment so as to separate them from the rest of the ungrounded house.I'm also investigating possibly using other means to create an isolated, protected circuit, but thus far that is proving fruitless.If nothing else I hope this serves as a warning to others that just because someone is licensed and insured, they might not always do the right or safe thing.

Hi BP community,I am investigating first buy & hold rental deals.

They often post a preliminary title report on the website.

In my practice I am almost constantly making what I call an investigate/forget decision.

But my preliminary thoughts is that it is probably a bad idea unless it is a) for a home you are going to live and stay and b) you get cheap labor. 

My preliminary numbers says it's a decent deal, but not sure.

Of course I will monitor the FSBO's and investigate the reasons they are up for sale to see if I can swoop in.How about your neck of the woods?

I'm going to drive by the duplex that just sold to do some investigation, i.e. is there a dumpster out front for a rehab
