I am concerned and a bit disappointed at the moment as the "sample properties" i looked at during initial engagement (before I got loan qualified) seem to have ARVs very close to sale or pending prices.  

@Bijou DiaouI’m a little disappointed by all the people saying “use the 10k to pay your debt off and then save again.”

I've seen that happen many times where investors are then disappointed. 

I still went and looked at the property, and to say the least, I was disappointed .

I have been looking at listings and what places are renting for...It's a bit disappointing, but I've LOVING the houses I see out there. 

@Andrew Tabalbag That is disappointing. 

I would find a property manager, referral from someone in that market on BP or the agent or listing agent could refer....Having a good property manager will make the differents in outside of your market or even inside your market. especially if you want a more hands-free approach.depending on friends and family sometimes is great and also can be disappointing. 

If I borrow his 80k to buy a house for 50k and fix up for 30k and it ends up only making 5k profit, then I imagine he would be pretty disappointed.

Please be very cautious i paid in January for a reia program in south miami $20,000 and put down $10,000 i got a 20 page booklet plastic binder and all contract memory card with 20 videos that start if you have question ask panel on our Facebook group please understand i paid for a private mentor that would be there when ever i need it help not a Facebook group i was even more disappointed when i was exited and scheduled my mentor a month in advance to review and learn and no mentor showed up i did loose $10,000 my down payment and saved $10,000 when i cancelled 30 days later be cautious Talk to people in person that have taken the course if you can my refund policy was inly 72 hrs after that i could not get my deposit good luck

Of course I was disappointed, how could a house bought in March 2019 appraise for LESS in September 2021 by more than 20%?
