@Matthew Giblin you're highly unlikely to succeed if you spread yourself over 4 markets.Recommend you do more research and just pick one of the 4 markets.Then do a trial run and see how it goes. 

Just focusing on reducing debt , I tutor chemistry which has been helping with finances.

Quote from @Nathan Gesner: Quote from @Bree Jimenez: I haven't thrown in the towel at all, I just have not had any luck with a deal yet i haven't gave up. 

You don't really mention investing in real estate, so this is just a purchase for your personal use. 

Stessa for the rentals, Monarch for the other accounts (IRAs, brokerage accounts, cash, etc.)

I wish the answer was you just screen them out but some of them are quite adept at hiding it.

Hi Stephen, welcome to the community!

Purchase price: $232,000 Cash invested: $200,000 Sale price: $575,000 I purchased this single-family property and undertook extensive renovations, including excavating a new foundation and reframing the entire two-story house.

Conventional financing How did you add value to the deal?

With no renovations needed, the home sold the same day for $220,000.
