Then you can pick up some simple tasks (if you choose) but not lose focus on your real estate pursuits if thats the ultimate direction you're heading...Best of luck in what lies ahead whatever path you pursue!!!

I plan to make this my primary residence so I could obtain money to make the original purchase, fix it to meet a lenders requirements and refi into a traditional or VA loan. looking for some advice before someone else picks up the deal.

The factory pick up is really a cool thing to do.   

Its tecnically OK to screen multiple applicants and pick the "best" one again without first in time,  but its still considered bad practice by most everybody around here and can invite discrimination claims.    

If you have any advice and don't mind me picking your brain a little bit, please contact me!

Typically, no extra cost, if there is town pick up.

Pick your niche.

You'd be looking at recreational property or RV financing with interest rates in the 6-7% range.

Right now I am thinking of just picking a company based on web reviews .. is that a good idea?

I’d love to meet you guys and pick your brains!!
