I side with the prespective that a lot of others have already provided within this forum; however, I did not hear the obvious/ traditional beginners method/approach mentioned.That method/approach being: 1.) obtaining a good deal which equates to me at a minimum of 10-15% (the more the better) below market value based upon CMA (this approach protects you in the case of a slight market downturn)2.) utilizing the business line of credit of $50k to make the 25% down payment (this down payment helps enhance the profit spread you will be able to collect each month in rent from your tenants minus your mortgage and loan repayment)3.)

If you were a few thousand feet away and near a train station so renters could actually use it easily, I think it would somewhat enhance values.

Use escrow instructions.2. find a tenant buyer, screen for Ability to Repay Rules (see CFPB site)3. enroll tenant buyer into Credit Enhancement (not just repair old marks, get new ones too). 

completly renovated the basement. textured walls upstairs and painted, and new carpet.

I figure I have the weekend to enhance my knowledge.

I understand and have high value on flow, texture, space, color, end user/consumer, and general aesthetic.

Coming here is one of the best moves you've made to enhance your REI.

But I was able to do most of the work myself including plumbing, drywall, mudding, texturing, painting and trim.

Nice enhancement--thanks Josh.
