There's no one size fits all approach.

You just need to know which clients to work with and who to say isn't a good fit.

Continue being frugal and saving up that cash and strike on a good opportunity when you see fit.

Do what fits your lifestyle goals.

Hi there,I couldn't fit the full description in the title.

If you have never seen the property walk the property first yourself before walking it with a contractor to make sure it is something you would want to take on and it fits your criteria.As part of that walk start putting together a scope of what you would want done.

I fix and flip investor may buy quickly, but are there properties that fit the criteria.

This is the emotional angle that most residential transactions end up taking and deals end up dying left and right when people piss each other off and emotions spiral.  

You need to find a brokerage that matches your personality, and fits your goals.

I may know some people I can get you in touch with and see if it would be a better fit for you.
