Fellow investors,Recently quit my W2 job(commercial General Contractor) to pursue full time real estate investing.

This will save you tons of time on the job and minimize delays.

I am not going to do any improvements to the land, just improvements on paper etc.

Quote from @Robert Frazier: Quote from @Austin Wolff: During my day job of Market Analysis here at BiggerPockets, Boise, ID consistently comes up as one of the best markets for real estate investors.

There's nothing left to cover expenses so you better have deep pockets to cover maintenance, admin, turns, etc.If you think you can quickly improve rents to a point that covers your expenses and pads your pocket a bit, then maybe, IF it hits your return threshold.If you're buying cash, then the mortgage is not a factor. 

As insurance woes grow over the next couple of years, I dont see this improving. 

Bonus would be refacing the cabinets if the pricing makes senseI priced out part of the job with HD, windows were somewhat reasonable at $8500 but I was surprised by the cabinet refacing -- Just short of $20k.

I wanted it to be passive since I have a full time job in tech and cannot do what "boots on the ground can".3.

@Philip Jones we've helped our clients do over a hundred.As some of the lenders posting have pointed out, the challenges are:1) Property value and corresponding loan size2) Appraisals have much better comparables than 5 years ago, but may still be an issue.3) Property condition can be an issue via the appraisal4) Ownership seasoning - most lenders looking for 6+ months or incredible documentation for cost of improvements made.5) Most DSR lenders require professional property management.Always try a small local bank or credit union, but most will expect you to transfer your business bank accounts over to them. 

Agent gets paid for doing their job.
