Pretty much any way I can add value I will do it even if its a 50k house that will require that I put in hours and hours of work because investor clients are typically return customers. 

Question.. why would Peter, or any of the other so-called gurus charged you thousands of dollars for a course that is mostly outdated, customer service is very poor of even nonexistent, and here is the kicker....

I will require the contractor warranty the work for 1 year, and provide the same documentation that they would provide to a paying customer.

You would ideally want to buy in the downmarket for below market price (around this time of the year since its more of a buyers market) and then sell in spring when values are going to be increased and also have a sellers market (you could sell for above market price).

You also want to look at your liquid reserves because as you buy more rentals more PITI reserves are required and a Heloc can "Never" be used as an asset or for a PITI reserve.If you evver have any questions feel free to reach out I enjoy talking REI and I deal with them every day as  Banker.  

Most of my customers who own their own land typically use Fannie Mae since it offers a ower Dp for 2-4 units and the guide lines are more lienant. 

@Justin Brickman, I have an Ideal 5 Br, 2.5 bath in North East  SA, that would work great for Midterm/short Term rental that  I am looking to sell. 

While it's not idealic for us to be there, it's needed, if we can be.

I clearly illustrated there is at least one customer saying they have issues.

As an agent the owners I deal with rarely want creative financing.
