Will they finance 100% of the purchase and renovation or will they want skin in the game (you putting money in).Most do not do 100% funding so beore going down more rabbit holes, make sure you have the $ aspect situated first.

I ended up working my father into other areas of my acquisitions (inspections and renovations) along with several other family members oddly enough.

If you are going to be an owner-occupant, want a low down payment, and are planning to do a renovation, the FHA 203k and Fannie May Homestyle loans are your best optionsHow do you know the property is currently upside down on the mortgage? 

Since house flipping has become so popular over the past few years, it's never been more critical to give your projects that extra *POP* that homebuyers will notice as they're swiping through Zillow. 

I renovated it down to the studs.

I was drawn to the accessibility of their projects without needing to be a FUND, along with the extra benefits that come from their large-scale output.As an investor, my priorities are finding good deals, investing in landlord-friendly markets, and transitioning to new construction properties.

South End is great for appreciation-driven investors who want to be close to the action.NoDa (North Davidson): The artsy vibe and walkability have made NoDa a magnet for young professionals, driving appreciation in this district.Kannapolis: Known for ongoing revitalization projects, Kannapolis is positioned for appreciation.

Are you leaning towards a buy and hold or a M/STR for your next project? 

I would like if you ever need a licensed GC to do renovations/Tenant Improvement projects I have a group for that.  

Personally I was not stoked on the engagement fee and on that particular project, the listing agent (who promised to notify us if anyone else was kicking the tires on the lots) sold one of them and the project didn't make sense at the new number or units.
