I didn’t have a pre-approval amount per se, I just knew that I didn’t have to worry about funding for anything under maybe half a million and my typical purchase and rehab was in the 150 to 250 range.

Purchase price: $65,000 Cash invested: $30,000 Sale price: $195,000 Live in flip.

Not sure if it was mentioned here already, but another creative alternative is to purchase a SFH that has a casita. 

I have a basic knowledge of real estate 2 home purchases/rahabs (NM & CA) and 1 sale in CA.

I helped a client purchase an SFH fixer with a detached garage.

I am a seasoned CRE investor interested in purchasing Marinas.

I purchased a property in the 77003 zip code which is 1.5 miles from downtown.  

If the numbers on your rental aren’t great yet, maybe another purchase isn’t even on the radar right now.

I would recommend that regardless of market you decide to invest in that you find a fellow investor/realtor that can help you purchase in the neighborhoods that make for ideal long term rentals.

Purchase price: $200,000 Cash invested: $30,000 Single Family Residence holding on to.
