#McCormickI have some Youtube videos (link in my profile) that will help with some of your questions and I'd be happy to have a call to help walk you through the market and what you should consider when looking here.

I am not sure about the other markets but I would suggest looking up a Realtor from here and utilizing their knowledge to help you. 

The reason I ask is that knowing the fast movers of the area may help you choose your project.Lastly, what kind of renovation budget have you established, and is it an upfront budget, or will you be contributing to it over the time that you live in the property and renovate it? 

Hope this helps you get started, and good luck with your first property! 

Your input would be really helpful as I navigate these details.Thanks again!

Still plenty of good deals to be found, just need the right people in place to help source and rehab.

I wanted to help them out and minimize their loss and saw an opportunity to get a property slightly below market because of my commission savings, immediate mortgage and maintenance relief, in addition to keeping a lower short term interest rate How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Home 1 is ideal for a fix-and-flip loan to fund the remaining $90K, which I can help you evaluate options.

Market being hot helped and no permits to deal.

Lord Knows the SS could use some help !!!
