Over the course of using Bigger Pockets I have had very degrees of opinions on who I should vote for concerning a post.When I first started using Bigger Pockets, I was too naïve to even think of voting for someone that took the time to answer one of my post.  

From there you can start to identify what you are looking for.Where do you land on the follow spectrums:Cash flow and AppreciationLong term or Short term needs (waiting for growth vs get out of my W2 now)Long term rentals, Mid term rentals, Short term rentalsBuying close to home or coast to coastSelf manage or hire a PMIf you can narrow in on those, you essentially have your buy box.

You have started your journey in the right place.

You have to front the deposit, which the contractor uses to get stuff done and that allows the drawing process to start from the escrow of rehab funds. 

I'm not sure of what exactly, but something led me to start connecting with others here and do my best to actually stay active.
