@Dwayne RoweWe did a consolidation loan through a commercial banker (basically a multi-property DSCR loan) where we took out one loan that paid off 5 higher interest rate properties, and took out cash as well at the same time.    

I have not been able to find any in person networking events in my area doing a basic internet search.

But basically with a construction loan you will need to have considerable cash involved - most costs need to be paid for and then the bank will reimburse at certain checkpoints.You may want to start with some smaller value adds inside the existing house to maximize rent from the house hack. 

Get a good cap rate basically covers your financing and ideally 20% more for maintanance, prop management fees.

A little secret is that Property Management companies come in two basic varieties.

If the court does not approve the sale the redemption rights are moot and the buyer of the rights wasted their time and money.Highly unlikely that the investor who bought the rights wants the house...

Basically a pre-nup agreement.

It will familiarize you with the basic terminology and benefits.

The benefit of old homes imo is that I go in and redo all of the systems and have basically a brand new house that I know was done right bc I oversaw everything.Most new homes are built with cheaper materials than the homes built in 1900.

What's the risk or cost to you if you face an eviction or a bad tenant because you used basic screening techniques?
