If so you should have a somewhat good understanding of what neighborhoods do and don’t have potential, start with the best neighborhood you can afford find the worst property in that neighborhood, that way you know you’re buying in a place where the economy is at least relatively stable and appreciation will be more likely!

Provide possible solutions to said problems.

I can to share my experience with a solution that has been a game-changer for us.

Lesson I learned was finding a good tenant and getting the prospective tenants fully vetted with their income and debt to make sure they can afford my rent.

The biggest ways IMO are MLS data, multiple solutions for sellers (off market cash deal or listing), ability to rep. yourself on your own deals (saving on commission).Commission savings adds up fast when you're doing multiple deals a year.That being said, there is cost to having a license so if you're only doing a couple deals a year then it might not make as much sense.

I’m Chris Dickerson, a newly licensed Mortgage Broker based in PA, specializing in financing solutions tailored for real estate investors.

Some of the simpler asset protection solutions would include the following:  having max funds allowed in qualified retirement plan or IRA rather than personal as retirement plans are exempt assets in Federal and most state bankruptcies; investing through an annuity if your state (Florida and Texas for example) exempts insurance policies and defines annuities as an insurance policy; taking advantage of maximum homestead exemption in your state; use of corporations or more popular LLC or Series LLC to limit liability to the entity holding the asset; reasonable liability insurance if available; separating asset ownership from asset management; etc.I can design a simple, cost effective asset protection strategy of up to about $5million with little cost IF the individual resides in Texas or Florida.  

4) Would It be easier to borrow that money knowing that I am trying to provide affordable housing in the governments eyes?

The market there is pretty good and affordable compared to King/Pierce/Snohomish counties.Let me know if you need help!

You'll need to know the loan amount and purchase price you can afford.
