@Dan Powers   You should post this in the REAL ESTATE CLASSIFIEDS section under Real Estate Events & Meetups.

It’s a 2006 home so no crazy unexpected issues.  

Making a larger down payment can improve your loan terms, but keeping some cash reserves is also crucial for unexpected expenses and future investments.

Since it is your first deal, some things to consider before acquiring would be:- Have you underwrote to account for unexpected expenses?

What if power availability is compromised by the local utlity by the time you are entitled, etc.

In this section, I want to emphasize the benefits of seller carry financing, share success stories where it enhanced the deal, and highlight the tax advantages of utilizing a 1031 exchange.Seller carry financing is a powerful tool that allows investors to purchase properties with flexible terms and minimal upfront capital.

Keep them updated on the project's progress, especially if you encounter any unexpected issues or delays.- Consider using hard money loans as a bridge to longer-term financing if you're planning to keep the property as a rental.

Overall, just want to fully maximize on my time, and making sure I am doing everything in my power to be build up my portfolio as efficient as possible. 

It simply takes more knowledge to be able to consistently have positive outcomes flipping homes, and buying a property that has unexpected expenses can quickly tank a project.
