I have already been pre-approved for a traditional 30yr fixed @ 4.2%.

I've already read the UBG, listened to a few podcasts, digested several blog articles, and am almost halfway done with Rich Dad, Poor Dad.

Unlikely since there is a rich mining history here but thinking through every scenario here as coal is a dying industry.  

I'm not wanting to go overboard on my first project, or get rich off of a few deals.  

I had always been an entrepreneur and as soon as I read Rich Dad Poor Dad I vowed to learn every aspect of real estate I could.Since then I've taken major action not all to my prevail but I have been making headway in RE investing.

Tile is also more traditional in those parts of the country than wood. 

Then I'll hopefully be able to go the traditional route. 

I'd say read Rich Dad, Poor Dad if you haven"t as well.

@Perry Rich I’m a HUD investor in South St a Louis City.

And of course there are probably new types of programs but this will give you a feel with out abusing an agent and let you check things out on your own.Best deals are bought with CASH,,, next best with quick loans  Next best with traditional snail financing.
