It’s unfortunate as their loan officer was stellar.

@Taylor DaschYou can buy the property in your own name if it's outside the so-called restricted zone.

In my area (DFW), we're seeing that smaller, one-story office is doing well. 

Find a decently priced loan officer or two and stick with them.

What are some of the best areas or even zip codes that would be good to buy a rehab property?

For example, here in NE PA, you can buy a 4/2 on a lake for under $500K while in CA, $500K will get you a starter home in most cases. 

i would not buy a random property in Alabama that you find on Zillow and turn it over to people you've never met just because the price point is appealing.here are some threads on how that can go:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1160450-run-i...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/12/topics/1215726-break...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1137397-balti...i own property in 3 states - happy to answer any questions you have.

Many people don't realize that you gain as much or more net worth through debt pay-down, and while it's less liquid than cash flow, over a 5-10 yr hold period it's considerable if you buy in the right areas with the right asset class.

that OR consider buying a property you could short-term rent to people who literally just want to visit the casino if it's a large/decent one.
