Hoping to get help from like minded people.After lurking in the back ground for years, we recently started purchasing property in the greater Birmingham area.  

Despite the initial low purchase price, our strategic investment and fast turnaround led to a strong profit, demonstrating the success of our collaborative effort with Amanda Frecks.

@Zach HowardAll 1800-2400sf, 3-5bd, 2-7 year old (when I bought them), stucco sided, tile roofed, SFR without lawns. 

Ivan, I'm in Tampa too and I'm a lender with formal commercial credit background from two of the largest lenders in the world and 34 years of lending experience.

I like to find owner finance deals and just finance the down payment for as many years as I can for cash flow.

In a few years I'd like to rent the property fully, and it looks like I can conservatively get get $2000 a month.

I have wholesaled, fix and flip and I have a duplex that I have owned for 5 years. 

Quote from @Eric Gerakos: Michael, why would you invest in UNSECURED note funds when you can buy notes SECURED by real estate that are currently paying 10% for 2 or 3 year interest only terms?

I started working with Rent To Retirement last year and have had nothing but good things to say about the experience as well.

Breaking Even & Potential Cash Flow•Your goal of breaking even in Year 1 is very achievable, especially with a 5% down payment and PMI removal via renovations.
