Given your situation, one strategy that could work really well for you is the BRRRR method (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat). 

They’re generally easier to manage and can help you gain valuable experience in property management.When you’re ready to scale up and try strategies like the BRRRR method out of state, it’s crucial to have a strong local network.

I have only done a few deals but the thing I constantly having to remind myself is R/E is a long game. 

For those that rely on traditional methods and personal experience, I can understand this perspective.

Quote from @Serge R.: @Jonathan GreeneDo you know how Auction.com set the reserve price if property owned by FreddieMac ?

@Ramada Evans yes that is all on you....you can go directly on airbnb/vrbo and do a search by the enemy method for houses that are similar to yours in size and bedroom/bathroom. 

Quote from @Dee R White: I'm out of debt, don't really plan on using my card much except for emergencies but the recovering spendthrift and the riskier investor sides of me - are curious if I should call the company back and ask for them to raise it back as it might affect my credit score. 

Quote from @Tracey Watler: Hello BP, I was looking for a lender in Puerto Rico, I’ve learned that even though Puerto Rico has almost all of the products and methods of the US not all US banks lend in PR. 

some gurus teach this method.. thats all this is.. seller is going to have to pay inputed interest to the IRS though.. to me it would depend on down payment..
