What I’m finding a hard time understanding is that whenever I find a good deal, do I need to have proof of funding lined up before I make an offer?

Have you dealt with bed bugs yet?

They get them lined up and collect those fees then its debt deny deny , next !!

So I just bought a property that I am flipping and the concrete and fence are a little over the property line.

The time lines are Strictly enforced. 

I'm not sure these were available in the lowest priced line.

hey jordan, i'm from st. louis originally and got lured back last year after a couple years in toronto. my wife and i are new to investing, close on our first property (a little sfr in the shaw neighborhood) in a couple weeks. we're in the same ballpark you are in terms of targets. we've been monitoring duplexes pretty closely for a couple months now, and it seems the market for multi-families in the neighborhoods you're hearing about (tower grove south, tower grove east, fox park) is very competitive. university city and clayton might also be areas to consider (near washington university and on our train line). i'm a newbie to investing but an olbie when it comes to stl, so i'm happy to answer questions you've got to the best of my ability. 

I just got my financing lined up so I can start looking for deals and investing.I wish I knew then what I know now about House Hacking.

@Faiz Khan - Hi Faiz - how many beds do you have and how many per facility? 

Eventually, if you are trying to get hard money or a credit line, this becomes much more of a factor.
