I'll bend a little on credit scores if they give me 3 months bank statements and their spending seems to be controlled (a small float, no overdrafts, bounced checks, regular bar tabs, etc).

Then there is the rest of the sea with floating trash that is dead weight that will take you to the bottom.

My husband and I only have less than 10k in savings, and right now are just staying a float with his checking account.I would like to prepare myself, educate myself as much as possible.

He has a passion for teaching and wants to focus on that instead.His property manager admits to me that there are two drug dealers on the property and that she just doesn’t feel like kicking them out.She also tells me they have pet fees, but she discourages any pets because its such a pain in the butt for her.There is a now leasing banner, but you would never know because it is just hanging halfway off.The pool has old mildewed furniture and is out of service.The vacant unit smells like Cheech and Chong had a party there that morning.You walk into the leasing office and it feels like a dungeon.

We have a lot of cash floating around our market place.

The nature of a 203K is that the contractor must float the materials and labor to specific milestones to get paid. 

Attend the local investor meetups there will always be bits of knowledge you can use floating around.

We like to go back and visit a few times a year if we can so I have floated the idea of buying something that we could Airbnb during the times we are not there.Does anyone own and Airbnb a property in Dallas?

Most all of the info floating out there in articles, by so called experts saying the "Feds" call it fraud are written by those that have an agenda that they are promoting!

I'm not sure yet what my overall strategy would be but it probably includes some combination of rehabbing for capital to buy more long term investments.I appreciate all of the great ideas and insight floating around this site and hope that one day I can contribute as well as learn.
