When I tell people about the hard work and long hours it took to rehab all the houses in our portfolio, they look at me like I have 3 heads.

You technically don’t need to give notice to enter common areas since those aren’t part of the tenant’s leased premises, but it’s still best practice to give a heads-up if you’ll be doing something disruptive (repairs, inspections, etc.).If tenants are using common spaces for personal storage or plugging in appliances, that’s definitely something you should address.

Also the price to develop of lot has gone up substantially price of pipe engineering fees hook up fees building permit fees.. then you add in price of materials :)The issue we have is there is PLENTY of low cost housing all throughout the US  just not in high priced markets..

What is the best direction I should head to become a successful flipper and investor?

I like where your heads at though with the real estate returns over stock market to diversify your investments.  

One to keep them honest.Occasionally, I pay a small “heads-up tip” for catching issues early.

These platforms should also NOT replace the income-generating and lead-generating practices of calls, emails, doorknocking, open houses, follow-up, etc.Instead, you should use these platforms to: document your day-to-day as an agent; feature deals/properties that you/your clients are looking at; share relevant RE or market data; etc.All the best to you as you continue your course & head towards the exam, licensure, etc.Abel

Check with your local Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) to see if there are any upcoming developments such as highways, rail lines, or zoning changes that could affect your site.These are the questions I run through my head every time I look at a new opportunity.

Not because I landed a deal or made a ton of calls—but because I made real progress in figuring out where I’m heading, and more importantly, who I’m doing it with.What I Learned Today1.

One of the big red flags I looked for over the last half decade was any offering that wasnt pricing in substantial interest rate hikes.
