Hey Marc, speaking from the BRRRR lending side of things I don't see any deals that our team has closed in Winchester, VA in the past few years.

I respect your many years of experience Jay but want to bring some perspective from the other side of the table.In a corporate office which is running 10, 20 or even 50 projects at once (depending on the firm size), what is the benefit for the Architect to drop their other projects to jump on yours quicker?

One side is traditional rental and the other side I have furnished and have been renting as STR. 

True mate,Always needed to get eyes on the property.Even if it meant sticking my nose on every window and looking through.Even the basement windows lolI think it's too high risk buying completely blind and not doing at least that.Ideal world, the back door is unlocked.And luckily for me "It was always unlocked" by me hahahaha Lol, yeah, I gotcha.

As a side note, most of the properties I have been targeting were Neighborhood grade C which are quite old and one of my concerns is that I may need to spend a lot of money on repairs and maintenance.I feel that I would need to wait a little bit more and maybe save more for my down payment and try to target Neighborhoods grade B.I’m trying to do an FHA loan and buy a house in my local market but even when I’m targeting properties between < 600,000 (which would be a 2Bed, 2 Ba in a good condition), my monthly payment would be around 5,000 which is impossible to pay for me.So, it has not been easy and it won’t be but I’ll keep looking until I find one property that meets my requirements and helps me to achieve my goals.

With your CPA background and audit experience, you already have a strong foundation for analyzing deals and understanding the financial side of real estate—a huge advantage as you dive into this new journey.

In fact, most made money betting on both sides.

Brick v.s siding and covered v.s no converted parking also make a large difference and are items that have to be adjusted for. 

And, another one requires more support (special needs).Husband working on starting his own business (starting phase, no income)On the side, there are some income ($50K a year)Goal:1.
