Get your financing in line, connect with an agent to get you on the listing service if you have not already and lastly have your criteria listed out on what you want to get in terms of cash flow/ROI/cash on cash return and then go out there make the offers and get one.

My 5 years of learning full time, 7 days a week, and seeing stories from both sides I have never read or heard that a couple of points in a loan made the difference to the ultimate bottom line of a project. 

I was willing to look anywhere north of 22nd, but the line where things are decent is jagged. 

My goal is to gain enough cash flow in real estate to retire in 4-5 years and have enough money to provide for my daughter and my girlfriend, who I want to marry down the line.

I too have the same amount of money as you (lines of credit) and I am trying to close on a four unit soon. 

There's this dividing line that's the Wabash River and it's a more civil boundary but very Hatfield v.

The cabinets in the kitchen though, and the ceiling tiles in the basement will all need replacing, which will definitely exceed the deposit...So here's my second line of questions.

@Chris Tolstoy, Just please tell me you have a QI lined up. 

Also, how many of you had a sellers agent lined up while searching for your first flip?

I checked with the city, and I dont think adding a meter, water supply, and sewer line are an economically feasible option.
