When I really started to get into real estate full time, I partnered with another guy and we targeted foreclosures with good equity spreads.

These spreads were flattened during the buying spree in 2021 but are re-emerging with rising uncertainty.

So, do I understand correctly that it is possible to spread it over two years and then just use the property as a permanent residence?

Beware of anyone on social media offering 100% financing at low rates.

They have removed me from the private fb group, blocked me from all social media, and will not allow me into the daily live office hours because I started telling people about this.

Also, I tell them not to buy used furniture.If you have SFR vs multi-family, you should consider being more or less easy to talk to about it, so, that if you are multi they don't DIY goofy stuff that ends up making it worse and spreading it to other units.ALSO, consider treating between each turnover, as it is much cheaper and easier to treat a vacant unit.Lastly, check out DoMyOwn.com ...they have products and great advice about all pests.Good luck!

435k to 500k is a large spread . over a 10% swing . its better to get an appraisal and have a much better target valuation 

I agree there are rough areas, but far fewer than media suggests.

Expand your network and explore social media events.
