@Jacob BOHRER. YES. You always want to know of possible problems or costs.

@John MorganThsnks for the tips). I too want good people, meaning do the psy thier bill's or st least try to. Things happen in life, sometimes it's what you do about them that matters most. I want long term tenants too, every landlord wants that.

@Mindy Jensen Hi Mindy, outside of learning about real estate I enjoy reading and watching movies. I've always loved movies.

@Kevin Freeman. Welcome to the team!

@Cliff Orphe

Hi Cliff, this is a question I share with you. My idea was to do the rehab work, then willing pay the agents commission. The house stays safe and protected while on the market. If you take the same agent repeat business, I too say that the commission should be negotiated. I will see what I can find and return. Talk soon...

Thanks so much!  Your response taught me what to look at, it taught me what goes into automating a business.

I did not even make that consideration.  The presentation made to me did not mention portions.  I was considering automating the business as a whole.

I am strongly considering automating my business.  I understand that it is a sure way to guarantee steady income and therefore take the place of the job I now work.  I want to know if anyone has experience at doing this?  How long did it take to generate that income? For example, is it realistic to plan to wait 6 months before any of the automation steps brings me cash income?  Is getting the business automated a relatively easy thing to do?  I have not done much research, but I have only run into one negative response saying it requires a real expert and is tedious to automate a business.  Any other opinions?  Please share!

Hi!  I too am in the process of doing my first flip.  I have partnered with a member of my investment club and we plan to combine sources to do the rehab.  I agree, consider private money as an option.
