I'm specifically interested in "main street" properties with a downstairs retail space, upstairs apartment(s).If you know of anyone with this sort of experience, I'd REALLY appreciate the connection.

I have seen a few house flips where I could tell there was no effort in thinking about the functionality of the space and how that affects their sale. 

I don't like the idea of spending $100 a month to access the list, and then spend .12-.15 cents per skip trace.

Has your agent accessed the PCR within Hudhomestore to see if activating all utilities is even possible? 

The course heavily relies on cold calling and emailing, which hasn't been effective for me as a novice.I'm considering a different approach, such as arbitrage, as it seems more accessible for a beginner.

Properties also have specific risks depending on if they are industrial spaces, commercial buildings or multi-family units.

We went all in on renovations—tore down a chimney to open up the space, put on a new roof, installed HVAC, updated floors, and completely redid the kitchen.

If you own either of the properties free and clear and don't need to access all of the equity to make the next purchase happen, that would be ideal.

Hey Drew,I work in the investment space and work with a bunch of hard money lenders and the typical rates I'm seeing from them are around 11-12% right now with a 1% origination fee.

Well, generally it means that the living spaces in the home need to be built about the Base Flood Plain Elevation.
