That may be your best bet if cash flow is your move.Florida will be great for appreciation, we still have people moving here like crazy. 

I bet it came out amazing, and now that its almost summer you can focus on the outside!

It sounds like unconventional lending and partners seems to be my best bet but I would love some more input from the community!

@Tanner Lewis Thanks for the reply, seems like driving for dollars or connecting with a wholesaler would be my best bet to find a property to brrrr.

I've recently been to a few in Tysons and Downtown Fairfax.Have you made some progress on your goals/research since your OP?

@Ricardo CamachoBest bet would be to call a title company and get them to inform you.

Ask a local trailer seller but I bet they’d say you’d be lucky to sell them for $10k retail.

The plan is to live in it for a cpl years so right now I’m assuming my best bet is a tricky FHA 203k loan.

Even on most DSCR loans, you'll be looking at 20% down, so your best bet for low(er) down payment would be to utilize a BRRRR strategy with a rehab-focused bridge loan into a DSCR to get it stabilized and cash flowing.Be sure when you talk with potential lenders to make sure that they are licensed to operate in NY as well.

I moved to the Kansas City from Sydney in 2012 with $10,000After a few flips, I "progressed" to Toledo, Ohio in 2014.A few companies later, thousands of flips and the rest if history 😁It will depend how hard you dive in.The deals are always out there to be wholesaled, flipped, BRRRR, etc...$250,000 can go a long way in tertiary markets (Midwest 👍) and over time you could make real estate a full time living with that starting capital.And IMO, you won't worry too much about a 2.8% fixed loan or an 8% fixed loan.Money makes money.God Bless America heheJust my opinion and wishing you the best 🙏
