Perhaps get a good grasp of an area, then start to find an agent(s) to get in touch with and get started with the process of looking for deals.

After buying your first rental property, getting a grasp of the system, and getting some skin in the game, how about financing that next property?

I also grasp the whole market proximity with the DC area.

I have a grasp of seller financing for the whole deal, but not just a down payment or closing costs.

Want to get a full grasp of it (Beginner).

@Aidan Fox If the numbers work for you to BRRRR with a 75% LTV loan then they work as a flip which is nice because it gives you multiple exit strategies.As far as financing goes, the first two things to get a grasp of is can the house be traditionally financed in its current state and will you be using the house as your primary residence while the rehab is taking place.

Luckily with a background as a Loan Officer it was a pretty straight forward concept to grasp. 

I think your $325-350k is much too high, if it is over $100k more than the neighborhood average (golf course or not).Also a complete from studs renovation with possible termite damage will most likely cost more than $65-75k if you are paying a GC to do it.I would proceed with caution and get a real solid grasp on the ARV and rehab costs before I made any offers to the seller.

Over and over I hear the BRRRR method, but I consistently stumble over it and grasp it a little but then the fundamentals are washed away by wordiness.

Even though it sounds like you’ve got a absolutely solid financials and a good grasp of all this, over leveraging is the easiest path to becoming a motivated seller.
