I am excited and blessed to to be in a position where I can learn..

thanks everyone,is it possible to to add the projected rehab costs to the purchase price and have the seller give it back to me as closing credit?

They lay out a very logical process for how to choose a market from a high level and then the steps to take to to a more in depth analysis once you have a potential market identified.

The point I wish you had made was that not everyone is meant to be a rockstar, if someone had walked into that guitar shop wanting to to pick up a flute as a hobby but then were sold a false dream of making it big with a guitar - then yes that is a problem and deceiving.Just like not everyone is meant to be a rockstar, not everyone is meant to be a wholesaler.

He only rents to young professionals and his company provides professional development support that puts them in the mind frame to save money and eventually be able to to buy their own homes (I love this!!!!). 

So, you either sell it or be able to refi it into a conventional loan and be able to to a 70% ltv --- basically a brrr-type concept.Sorry, can't be of much more help.

Pull some equity from the homes if you need to, to build your dream home, but use that debt to your advantage. 

When I decide to to pull the trigger and make an offer I’ll make sure I’ll run it by all of you guys and from what I see, there are so many people willing to help me reduce the risk by just sharing an opinion.
