Good morning Carl, @David Krulac is right on the money. 

@John Lasher If you are still looking to spend $20k-$30K for a coach, I would be happy to take you up on that offer :) For full disclosure,  I will share with you precisely what you can learn online/ perhaps even entirely through these BiggerPockets Forums but that doesn't address the reason why most are still unable to purchase larger assets: creditworthiness and capital relationships.

Whether or not you would benefit from a cost segregation study depends on multiple factors. 

@Jullion Cooper Congrats on your purchase!

Purchase price: $35,000 Cash invested: $35,000 Sale price: $110,000 Purchased off-market from a tired landlord, this fix-and-flip involved renovating a distressed property with outdated features and deferred maintenance.

@Lulu LueHUD has 2 online databases of lenders showing which ones have the most experience with 203k's. 

Now I found one that specializes in real estate investors that was recommended by an online mentor.

In this case, since they are borrowing their payments, these would get added to the principal balance each month, and interest would be calculated on that.If, for example, the interest rate on the note were 10%, they would implicitly be borrowing their payments at that rate.

I’m mainly focused on the ATL/GA region but am open to exploring other cities too.A little about why I'm here: I’m an engineer by day and a real estate enthusiast by night.

I was able to figure out that they had come upon some hard times and were significantly low on cash.
