I'm an investor and a licensed mortgage broker who has done fix and flips both using my home's equity and borrowing against the investment property.If you (1) have enough equity in your home to fully fund the deals, (2) don't mind tying that equity up for these deals vs saving it for a rainy day and (3) are ok linking the place you sleep with the success of the flips, this could make sense.We offer a ton of different fix and flip programs including putting 10% down on the purchase price and funding 100% of the rehab.

Are there specific military programs or contacts I should look into for housing opportunities?

This was through the Veterans Affairs home loan program.

No experience in Brooklyn but there are a lot of programs out there for rental assistance.

Any feed back is welcome

I am actually starting a Reverse Trolling Coaching Coaching program, and I am just Reverse Reverse Reverse Trolling right now.

Quote from @Bruce Woodruff: Quote from @Jonathan Greene: Quote from @Bruce Woodruff: I think that this BP forum takes on that deal-killer function very well......at least it can if/when investors take the time to post their questions and concerns.It should, but because some (not all) investors are fragile about criticism or prefer an echo chamber, it often falls into a back-and-forth where we are trying to help on our own time, and they are rejecting it and calling us naysayers.

Either would be a great option; I'd probably choose Roseville because it's more established, but the City of Elk Grove deserves a lot of credit for its impactful growth programs, so it wouldn't be a bad option. 

I wonder how long Aircover will last and continues its amazing program.
