Talking to others also gave me insight into different markets and strategies, which made it easier to figure out where I wanted to focus my efforts.A simple tip I’d give is to start small and grow gradually.

My clients once they come on board with us generally will flip 5 to 40 homes a year.. pretty hard to do more than about 3 or 4 a month but I have a client in KC that does at least 30 to 40 with me and I know he has another lender.. the difference with a company like ours that is a capital partner your paying a touch more for the service but once its going its ALL our money and then the partners work.

The capital loss would be calculated as the difference between your original investment amount and the amount you received back (in this case, 10% of your principal).

Some may tell you that you can systematize anything, but the problem is, every individual home is different (even the newer cookie cutter neighborhoods).Focus on two or three neighborhoods and know what a good deal looks like in those pockets.I would also temper your expectations as far as finding a lot of equity on MLS.  

A friend and I created one recently:https://drive.google.com/file/...It was meant to compare costs between different lenders, but you can use it to just see costs from one lender as well.

During the "fix up" process, you would use a different kind of loan that will end up converting to a DSCR loan once you have tenants living in the unit(s).So, I would need to use maybe a construction loan for the renovations and then convert it to a DSCR loan?

In fact there are quite a few sellers who will opt to go with a different buyer solely because they don't want to deal with the perceived headaches of a VA buyer underwriting process.

If you’re looking for ways to make the numbers work, sometimes that means evaluating different markets, financing options, or property management strategies that help mitigate risks like vacancies and maintenance surprises.You’re not alone in feeling like 2025 could go in multiple directions, but one thing remains true—real estate continues to be one of the strongest vehicles for long-term wealth when approached the right way.

@James Thompson Transferring property from your in-laws to you can be done through a gift, sale, or trust transfer, each with different tax implications.
