Hello Bigger Pockets community, My name is Jeff and I am currently living in and looking to invest in the greater Boise Idaho area, although it would seem to be a tough time to make good profit margins with the market the way it is in this area. 

It was a valid loss mitigation strategy at the time.Q4 2018 ended with default rates at all-time lows, it'll be tough to make this happen.

The house is 100 and the plaster is tough to fix.Some passer by stopped in and asked if we were selling the place.  

Personal savings and Credit Card for materials How did you add value to the deal?

well lease options are good in down markets kind of tough in hot markets. so this lack of success does not surprise me but i cant comment on how you he dealt with you on a one on one.. it seems once a year there is a post like this.so i have to assume he has a fair number of students throughout the year that are happy and for sure you cant please everyone in the real estate training business that is for sure.

Looking to invest in the Pittsburgh area.. the market seems to be tough right now but looking for some help.I currently have one property that I am renting out and have about 30,000 I am looking for another deal.Any suggestions on what route I should take?

@Kevin Phu, I would consider selling your current home and using a new VA loan to house hack a proper multi-family.An FHA may be tough, if you keep your current property because you'll have a high DTI and the bank may not look kindly on you renting out 4 bedrooms of a SFH.Furthermore, once you move out of your current house it could be a real nightmare to manage.

The ARV makes it a bit tough to get a good sense of this project.

The PM will control and report on progress and also mitigate issues with contractors, solicit and hire and record and report on actuals vs budgets for labor and materials costs.

I assuming the exterior is ok except new roof and painting.The prices reflect materials and labor.
