I'm brand new to Real Estate investing, I have a property currently being rented that was my primary residence.

Hi all,I have been a resident for 4 years and there is a lot of work as far as paint, carpet etc. that needs done to get ready for a new tenant It was pretty much trash when I moved in and mentioned so on the checklist but nothing is really covered in the normal wear and tear.

@Frank Yaccarino I originally found my agent when I was looking on Zillow for a personal residence, and I clicked on the nearby agents on the property page. 

Almost all will do so on a primary residence but not an investment property.

I currently rent my place in California (so I don't own a principal/primary residence currently) and can't move as I have kids in school here, etc.

SF = Single Family Resident

Here are some examples:Marketing - Developing a compelling website, pitch book, and other marketing material.Credibility - I lack the practical experience to convince most potential partners.I feel like the solution to this is to put together a dream team of experts for an Advisory Board.

Yes you can finance rehab into a 203K, but only if the home will be your principal residence.

Like I say, Find Solutions...Not excuses!

For example when purchasing my primary residence we had it inspected, basic repairs, the whole nine yards.
