Let people know you’re buying when you get ready to buy.

I see people doing this wrong in Michigan constantly.

That's pretty vague for people to help you.

I put quotes because its simple but many people make it more difficult.

I have people who have been stationed there before, so I have a decent idea on areas to look in around the base.

Could work, but remember people that need hard money usually need it for a reason.

Some people need 2% above the borrowing cost (8% cost of hELOC you gotta then make 10% + etc) and others will want to double their cost of capital or 200% so it depends.Everyone's going to give you their anecdotal experience or what their preferences are so its good to hear it all and determine your own.

I've heard of people doing this, but you need to be rehabbing it enough to make it higher value so ideally you need to be purchasing something that needs some rehab so that you can increase the equity because otherwise you're not gonna have enough equity to pull out

You can just answer it without the jazz, and I bet you know a few places right off top of head where people WANT to live, right. 

I worked with an agent who was okay but I became an agent myself because I became so interested in the industry and want to help other people build wealth and become investors themselves.
