My wife and I are both 22 years old, and currently we live in her parents basement, we are trying to look for our first real estate investment detailed below, does anyone have any tips/tricks into buying a house in the Spokane Area.We have been looking into buying into a house when a housing crash occurs (some predict after all this Covid-19) - a house that I can live in for at least a year- renovate the inside while living there- in a decent neighborhood, so that I can rent it out after- kind of like a live in BRRRR Strategy.Is there any tips that anyone has while looking for houses or neighborhoods in Spokane to stay out of (felony flats, hillyard, and brownes addition)

Originally posted by @Elaunte Brown:@JOEL SEQUEIRA I would say that if you are going to invest in a property as a flip or even a rental to consider some private money lenders as a opposed to conventional lending  especially if your considering flipping.There is a large number of cash buyers and aggressive hedge funds in the market who pick up most of the best which is why so many people go the HML approach.Most sellers and wholesaler's your going to deal with are usually not going to give you much if any due diligence in addition to wanting to close within 7-14 days. 

@Matthew Brown So far, I'm only looking locally.

I personally know an experienced investor who is also an agent/broker who could do a much better job outlining some of these issues (yes, I'm looking at you @Marta Brown!).

The toilet had dark brown stains.

@Kenneth Brown I would reach out to the Georgia Department of Community Affairs.

As long as they sign a month-to-month lease, and pay market rent I don't see it as a bad thing necessarily.What are the downsides as you see them @Cyndrea Brown ?

@Sarah Brown I'm in total agreement with @Colleen F. but I would say, MOST people can't visualize. 

I actually spent a couple of years there in the late 90's and can admit to attending The Little Brown Jug event a time or two.Reach out with any questions - glad to have you aboard!

@Cavin Brown  Let's coordinate schedules and meet for a coffee one day.
