.- The 203(k) will allow you to bid on properties that need repairs that won't qualify for a traditional mortgage => less competition => better purchase price.You will need to find a great local contractor you can trust to supply the required bids to qualify for the 203(k).- After closing, you can do some of the work yourself to save money, but the program doesn't allow you to pay yourself.You will want to buy a Class B property, maybe Class C+, in an area that seems to be improving.

Affordability is one of the biggest challenges in today’s housing market.I believe smaller, more dense units are part of the solution:1) Buyers can only afford smaller homes in today’s economy.2) Denser units maximize the land available, increasing housing supply to help offset demand and ultimately bring costs down overall.It’s not just about building more, it’s also about building smarter.What are your thoughts?
