@Patrick PhilipThe beauty of much of this business for the investor is that while an investor sees a piece of land with a structure on it in terms of fungible value, a retail buyer sees a home and hearth, a place to raise their children, somewhere to grow old together with their loving spouse, a symbol of their financial competency, a mark of belonging to one class rather than another.

I am sure their annual tenant questionnaire would also require proof such as drivers license and our address would not match.  3.

You are on a good path but before you make a move keep educating yourself about what opportunities are going to best match your personality and the long term goals you have in mind. 

So things that are red flag for me may be fine for someone more aggressive.1) Portfolio matching: (takes 30 seconds per deal)a) Have an educated opinion on where you think we are in the real estate cycles (financial and physical market cycles)b) Then only then pick the strategies, capital stack, and specialized asset subclasses that make sense for that opinion.

I'm very interested in using a 203K FHA loan for financing the purchase, and rehab of a property that I would move into... and drive up the equity... eventually leveraging the increased equity to refinance & invest forward... or outright sell and invest forward.Is it possible to find a deal that matches my house hunting criteria from a wholesaler, and use a 203K loan to do the purchase? 

I've seen several comments regarding the substantial improvement requirement of opportunity zone real estate, but they don't seem to match with how the law is written, at least as I am interpreting it.

Found 2 properties today that perfectly matched my profile and before the day was over, they were under contract.

Too bad investors don't have a fiduciary duty to flip a house with quality to match the asking price.
