Welcome to the community and be ready for a huge amount of information at your finger tips. 

Another solid read is "The Millionaire Real Estate Investor" by Gary Keller, which focuses more specifically on real estate strategies.For podcasts, BiggerPockets is extremely popular and a fantastic resource, especially for beginners.

Thank you everyone @Ashish Acharya @John Bowens   @Gino Barbaro  @Jacqueline WrightWe'll be staying out of our Traditional and Roth IRAs then for this.And we aren't ready for and aren't qualified for a self directed IRA at this time, so we'll not go that route.The loan out of the 401K is interesting. 

Welcome to the community and be ready for a huge amount of information at your finger tips.

Options1) I have some cash buyers who are ready to acquire the property under the as-is condition2) Make basic updates to pass U&O, rent it for two years, and refinance it after to take out my investment and profit. 3) Make an update to get the maximum value from the property (Bought at $126K, as-is value $165K, and updated value $265K)The challenge that I am facing is to make the title clean faster without waiting two years so that I can take my investment out and put it into the next foreclosures.

I feel I am ready to invest again, maybe doing a BRrr method with cash out refinance or perhaps a flip.

I am now ready to make my first purchase of either a Flip or a buy and hold. 

These areas not only offer reasonable purchase prices for many investors, but also feature turnkey homes—either newly built or fully renovated—ready for tenants, with systems that still have around ten years of life left.

Tenant moved in march 1, so ~7 weeks to rent (it took a week to get unit ready). 

My goals are ambitious but I'm ready to take risks.
