Don't see any major red flags here, so long as you are comfortable in the low income space.

I wasn't sure if asking my FHA lender about switching it to commercial will raise red flags.

One of the biggest red flags I have as a lender (who lends my own money as well as secondary market loan) is when a rookie tells me there goal is to buy 10, 20, whatever properties in the next year. my next question is how many do you own currently?

I know, there are plenty of red flags there, but I do believe it is worth the risk when I consider how happy it makes my wife, how life-changing it will be for the family, how minor the financial impact will be on me, and how it gives me the opportunity to practice the steps of real estate investing with forgiving tenants.Finally, I am going to attempt to self manage as nothing comes close to cash-flowing if you include PM costs.

A common strategy used by investors, such as those operating through PadSplit, involves purchasing the property, completing basic rehab, refinancing, and then using cash for the interior build-out.Another potential red flag, even without converting common areas, is the addition of individual locks on bedroom doors.

The property is a duplex with an ARV (after repair value) of $700,000, making it a strong deal.However, I want to ensure I’m not overlooking any potential red flags.

We built a BEAUTIFUL Mailchimp account and sent out half a dozen Wholesale properties, only to get flagged and our account 'Deactivated' after sending one 'Private Lender' email campaign. 

Every interaction with them has raised red flags. 

we have a flag lot and constant deliveries every single day.. so far so good.. we are on a culdesac with only 3 houses ( built mine and the one in front) someone would have to follow one of the vans to snag ours as you cannot see them from the street and I have not had anyone pull up into my driveway as you would have to back out.

On the other hand if they are a sponsor that is experienced in stopping a skin in the game, that's a huge red flag for me.c) how open to scrutiny are they?
