Three of his properties in Orange, TX flooded during Harvey and he only had insurance on one of them.

So, it's really apples and oranges.

It's kind of like comparing apples to oranges, each loan is different depending on the terms, what matters is what works best for you.

The stone has a 70s vibe to it between the orange bricks and the geometric shapes.

Real estate investing is a pretty forgiving world and the average person can still make money even with some pretty big mistakes.Buckle in, keep your arms and legs in at all times, and enjoy the ride!

@Joel Cruz de Anda Welcome to BP here in Orange County. 

@Daniel Soyars I'm a realtor in Central FL but mainly focus on Orange Lake and Seminole counties.

His name is Mel for the purpose of listing out our situationsHere are some of the realities of our situation:Mel has a lower FICO (610-620 I believe)My FICO score is higher (770)Mel has a W2 paying job where he is salariedI am a 1099 with two separate companies (Independent Contractor)Mel has been FHA approved up to $300k I have not because I don't have a "steady income" even though my income is higher than average, they don't like the fact that it is inconsistent because I am not salaried.We currently live in Orange CountyLooking in Pomona (LA County) and Riverside County for property because anywhere else $300k is unrealistic to find a multi or a SFR to flip.Now if you've come this far and read all that....

Hi, I am a young wholesale/fix and flip investor in the Brevard/melbourne/Cocoa/Merritt Island/Orange county area and I have what may be a great but also obvious question.

I read 52 books and listened to hundreds of hours on podcasts and YouTube videos before I closed on a property .yes a lot of doing this comes from practical experience but you can have a huge leg up by simply being educated and understanding what to expect .
