No but I think about it.  I love construction.  The problem with the "run down" homes that I've bought is that I've over improved them and lived in them for a bit.

My very first purchase in the early 80's was flipped and because of the huge success with it, I caught the fever!  I've flipped several and plan to flip many more.

No I like to keep them, so I have done the combo: Rehab for Buy & Hold (1989-2007). I rent my investments. I have however listed many flips (2006-2011).

You bet! When I look an investor in the eye and say, "if a 3/3/3 existed for $40,000 I would buy it myself," I am absolutely serious.

Working on one right now. 

The key things is making sure are the right things are wrong.

If the wrong things are wrong you just bought a money pit.

The ever pressing challenge today is the availability of the skilled labor needed to turn the property quickly.

No I'm not strong enough.  But I have managed to buy & sell a few properties for short term investment.  Mostly I've been a buy & hold investor.

No, but it is very high on my to-do list in the near future depending on how the market holds up. More interested in getting into multi-family rentals.

Of course, it should be a prerequisite for all licensees in order to get their feet wet.
