Focus on areas with high tenant demand, solid cash flow, and potential for long-term appreciation, and you'll be on your way to securing a great investment.Good luck!

You might be able to secure a loan with 20% down in some cases.

DSCR loans are widely available to first time investors, but they are considered business purpose loans and you will be required to sign documents stating that neither you nor any family member will occupy the property as your or their primary residence as long as that loan is in place. 

Don't be surprised if the insurance company has the family provide the security deposit.

Be kind to yourself and feel free to send me a DM if you think that I can be helpful resource.That makes sense but yes I do have FOMO, house prices have historically increased faster than rents, thats a nation wide trend.

Landlords can enter a tenant's property for a variety of reasons, including: Making repairs or replacements Responding to a tenant's request Removing unauthorized window coverings Preventing waste of utilities Changing filters, testing, or replacing smoke detector batteries Inspections Helping with an emergency inside the unit Posting a notice of eviction"Research your state laws because some of your comments indicate a lack of understanding of the landlord/tenant laws where you are operating (like threatening the tenants to keep the security deposit if they don't respond to you, I doubt that is actually a valid reason to keep their deposit, or evicting for late payments, or charging the tenants for your warranty repairs because you missed your 11 month inspection window which was your responsibility, and it looks like your lease says you can charge up to 18% interest for unpaid fees, is that actually legal?).

I was hoping to talk to people that have gone through his program to see if his success is more widely duplicated.  

You could setup something where the fees are deferred until you secure the construction loan and then pay them 1.5-2x their standard fee if they waited the 6-18 months to get paid.

Assumable VA loans are an excellent opportunity to secure favorable terms, but there are specific rules regarding who can assume these loans.
