I suppose I should do more research before diving in but this is just an option I came up with since I don't have many other options available to me.

I see huge potential in REI with a lot of hard work, both of which I’m very excited to dive into.I’m in my 33rd year of life and recently left the commercial maritime world in May to continue pursuing my career as a freelance Captain.My wife to be (in 11 days 3hrs and 4 minutes 37 seconds) and I are looking to start our portfolio with our first property together to be a multi-family in which we live in one of the units for 1-2 years as house hackers and then continue to build with BRRR.

The way that I am planning on doing this is purchasing and selling vacant land (method mentioned on BP podcast #39 where buying at deep discount).  

I am at least ankle deep (but more like knee deep!)

Ryan - dive in.

So I would still remove any carpet in bathrooms but only deep clean dirty carpet (if possible) and just make sure the kitchen baths are functional.  

This community has been an excellent resource thus far and I'm excited to dive in!

I am already "knee deep" in the podcasts and YT videos.  

Dive in and write a story about the property and see if it fits into your life. 

A deep and wide market for sub-prime MBS's was created and that meant banks could lend to anyone with no approval criteria and unload the risk quickly and easily.
