Now I have to give my little girl a home so thank you for the advice. 

@Antonio Ward Jr at the risk of being accused of self-promoting, we do have a lot of info & tools at our wwwsite:)You won't really find contractors, except a few that are also flippers or landlords.You can try asking to join the invite-only FB Group: Metro Detroit Real Estate Investors, but we haven't had any recent success finding affordable/quality contractors there in awhile.We find most our guys by networking.DM us if you'd like to chat more:)

It's such a big deal that even the accusation of such is very bad. 

Technically this girl was still on a lease and if she showed back up after I had changed the locks I figure I might have been in trouble.

My market would have better cash flow and better appreciation over the hold.Good luckI've got a lot of patience but I'm tired of accusations that I'm a newbie or an idiot.

Ain't that the truth.I have never heard anyone say anything bad about James Wise.. ( well maybe your good friend Clayton).. lol........Well I've never been accused of being overly polite.

"Compass, the real estate brokerage that sells more houses than any of its competitors in the United States, has sued Zillow, the country’s largest real estate site — in a legal showdown that accuses Zillow of gatekeeping home listings and of breaking federal antitrust laws." - Debra Kamin - New York TimesPersonally - I think Compass will lose...convincingly.

It is good to know your stated intent wasn't to accuse anyone.  

We decided to do this to help these girls due to current high cost of studio apartments in the Lakewood Ranch area...so we will actually probably be taking a slight loss, but we will be paying down our loan. 

Well, that probably BETTER than the new posters who argue, accuse, threaten, name calling, belittle and attack when a suggestion is made they don’t like…I hear ya, Don.....May be a sign of the mindset that caused the poor planning with the flip...?
