@Sasha Josephs,That's going depend on your state.Some states misinterpret selling your position in a contract as reselling the associated asset.

My plan is as follows:Keep stuff in my name so I have more lending options and better rates, including credit unions. 

Your best bet is to talk with the seller about financing options. 

@Brad Eckhardt@Curt Davis did a nice job of differentiating the two companies and mentioning that third option of speaking with a company directly.  

Two years ago I decided (out of client necessity) to reapply for my NMLS mortgage broker license to provide more robust mortgage options and services to my clientele.

Assuming it's Section 8 approved, why would it not be a good idea to slap a Section 8 tenant in there and collect positive cash flow?

If the town won't enforce it and the lawyer and realtor won't do it...then there aren't any other options.

I personally work in the Columbus, Oh market because my research lead to this market.Build a Local Team:Find reliable local professionals such as real estate agents, property managers, contractors, and attorneys who are familiar with the market.Network with local investors and attend real estate meetups to get referrals and build connections.Set Investment Criteria:Define your investment goals, such as cash flow, appreciation, or a balance of both.Determine your budget, financing options, and the type of properties you want to invest in (single-family homes, multi-family units, commercial properties, etc.).Financial Preparation:Secure financing or funding for your investment.

Hey @Yolanda Martinez - Flipping houses is a great way to get some positive cashflow quickly but it can be stressful and a lot of work making all ends of the process meet.Usually the end goal for investors is to eventually have enough capital to buy and hold properties to rent that way you see cash flow coming in monthly.If you have any questions on the rental market, please feel free to reach out.

I've often seen ~2,500SF per unit, but looking to see what is out there.Also, the land is not entirely flat, and I'm new to development, so I'm trying to get some ideas on what might be good options for developing with this topography.
