By dealing directly with us as the buyers you won’t have to pay 6% to a realtor or any other unnecessary costs or fees.We would all like to spend more time with our families or pay off some unexpected debts, and selling your house to me can make that happen.

Hi there,Welcome to BP, this is a great website and resource for all types of real estate investing.I suggest you do a lot of research here, do not spend a lot of money with coaches, it would be much better to put that money to work and learn from experience.Additionally, there are many real estate clubs out there, visit them, select your favorites and meet other investors working your area.

Use (don't spend) your 50k as many times as you can.  

I'm thinking right around 4% since it's an investment property versus a owner occupied home (except for the FHA option) but don't know if that's realistic.  

Spend time becoming and expert in the area you want to focus on.

There are a few options that come to mind, but, as a general statement, this will take a *long* time, so hopefully there is no enormous pressure on your side or on the seller's side to get the house sold immediately (not that the seller could realistically expect that with tons of violations and fines anyways!)

My realistic goal for 2016 is to do one with a 10k profit on our end.

I'm also not fond of the notion you'll realist with me, because a lot can happen between now and then.

How much are you going to spend on lawn care?

I will pass this one...I am not sure I will want to spend too much time on this.....
