Then you'll need to find land, acquire it, find a spec home buyer and set up meetings to design plans or buy a set online with mods.

Good morning everyone, I have successfully incorporated flipping houses as a new method of investing in Real Estate after 7 year of buying and holding small to large multifamily properties.

.: Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: when I was buying notes I did not even run credit.. but I only paid 10 to 20 cents on the dollar.  

@Stuart Udis I would say the way I buy is unconventional.

I have been wanting to buy this piece of land for years and it has recently become available.

I know it’s more difficult to sell this so I’m looking for a company or group of Investors that would be willing to buy as is.

Jimmy  - Thank you for the input, definitely buy and hold.

@Jay Fayz for SFR (1-4 family) Classifications are mostly opinion-based.Not aware of anyone tracking eviction rates, except Evictions Lab nonprofit that doesn't like landlords.Here's some info that might helpt:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

I generally agree that buying SFH as first investment is an easy way to test the waters; however, if you’re set on REI I suggest buying a duplex or quad.

Yes, you could easily buy a fourplex in Colorado in 2012 with 3.5% down using an FHA loan.
