Man this is pretty if I could get a job here I would move from Texas right now :).. something about the Mtns that draws folks..

I'm just going to suggest a few other areas of the city because you got a lot of great recommendations.You might want to consider East Boston because prices are still "affordable" in relation to other parts of the city, the main draw being the airport.

My favorite credit union is Navy Federal, because they offer a long draw period. 

I know which product that you are referring to. the conventional mtg product has the following features. 1. minimum 15% down payment 2. 30 yr fixed term 3. rehab and repairs can be included in financing 4. borrower can be a first time investor. 5. no prepayment penalty. 6. the contractor will receive an initial draw at the closing table. 7.

(BP always uses Denver as a pin).

I talk with some of these connections on a weekly basis in discord, so just listening to them, I'm able to draw inferences and learn about trends in sub-markets in western PA.

Then you'll want to find some focal pieces that will shine in photos and draw renters to your place.

This is also a huge horse and cowboy area, so I was looking for that to draw in people as well.

I am sure some people do, but you are drawing a comparison to mutual funds. 

I put 350k as a lien on this house, with draw schedule for renovation, get paid back of my 350k at close of escrow, then get paid 50% of the profit.
