There are some very reasonably priced laminate and vinyl products out there (there are also some crazy expensive options that are pretty sweet). 

sweet thanks a lot @Russell Brazil . do you happen to know the credit score they need for conventional?

It's important to find the sweet spot!

Pretty sweet area to invest.

. :)Now finding a sweet deal on the MLS.

If you can do repairs for a cost that keeps your total investment below $40k and hit the $700/month, then you are in a sweet spot!  

This is a very well to do area, you must have connections in finance realm that might be able to get creative with the numbers, or personal connections that would be willing to ease the burden for you over the short term and get a cut of your profits on future flips where you stay within your profitable sweet spot.Your other set of possibilities are legal, and that is really something you need a good PA real estate attorney to pour over your loan docs to see what your options are. https://www.foxrothschild.com/gregory-j-kleiber/

Do you have a sweet spot?

I’m also privileged to have an amazing agent who helps me find the right properties that hit the “sweet spot” for what renters (families) are looking for in SFHs.

Short and sweet, put the ball in their court.
