Does anyone know any smarter, more efficient ways to post ads?

Neighborhood is decent.I'm putting the cash ROI with 30% down at 5K in immediate improvements at about 20%.

Has she made any improvements to it?

My lender told me to just create a room by room list of specific improvements that I will make.

Or if you have made improvements to the property and can justify a higher appraised value, you may be able to refinance the 1-4 you just bought with the FHA loan into a Fannie / Freddie non-owner occupioed loan, and then go buy another 1-4 unit as owner occupied without having to wait the full 1 year.

Over marketed property at a inflated price will not sell unless the seller comes down and the market catches up closer to their price.The question you have to ask yourself as an investor is " How much time and energy and resources will I have to use to try and find a buyer at an almost market price for a property?

If you don't need it, with the market improving, then that's just extra profit.That's great that your mother is a realtor.

I always imagined that my first flip would be a live in flip because it seems less risky, so I suppose I should start looking at homes that are within my budget and have some room for improvement.
