I once spent all night pumping 3 feet of water out of a basement, in a monsoon, using a DC pump attached to my truck battery because there was no electricity to the house and the sump pump couldn't work.

I was in the military so initially thinking of using a VA loan.

Another avenue to explore if they do not work out is using a commercial policy (Business Owners or Package policy). 

Has anyone considered using a company like Curbio to flip houses?

I’d like to figure out how he does that so I can just do it myselfThey are probably running a script built into the browser (Chorme likely), it could be done using a site similar to this site > https://simplescraper.io/, i haven't tried it, i rather just pay for it.

I would stay away from long term contracts and pay by the month to start if you are using a service and then after you have real world experience with it, you can sign on for a year for the discount.

They all have there unique challenges but using a PMS from the start was a good option for us.

., income must be 3X rent, how do you make the calculation for a tenant using a section 8 voucher?

Even under this scenario, with a 50/50 split, you will not be getting paid for doing all the work.Another option would be for you to put in 50% of the purchase price using an LLC that you own 100%, borrow the remaining 50% from your investor as a 2nd position loan at a fair interest rate with points, and borrow the rehab under your personal guarantee.Better, if you can find a lender who will lend to a newbie, and they are out there, you could borrow the purchase money using some of your cash as a down payment, as well as all the rehab funds using a construction loan.

I think we can achieve the goal of a family-friendly community and having a house that I can get paid for by using a co-op method.
