Average home price in Bellingham is in the mid 400s, and the homes at these prices go very quickly.The owner might be willing to consider owner financing, but I currently have available no money for a down payment (tied up in 3 other properties right now)So, who has innovative recommendations for how to get into this? 

Hi, introducing myself, have lurked for awhile and in education phase of real estate investing.I'm a millennial from mid Michigan whose finally starting to see light after student loan debt and looking to learn and develop as much as I can.Always interested in meeting new people in this market or from wherever to bounce ideas withCheers

I know in many areas though of the mid west HUD Is higher than market rate for sure I get that..  

@Casey Sbrana, just listened to a panel of experts on the state of the market in mid 2019.

We inherited one set of renters, and started showings on the updated unit mid Dec and had our new renters move in Jan 8th. 

I'm pretty young, mid-20's and am actually from the Memphis-area.

 @Bobby ValcinI would wait till the 6 month mark because you will get better rates, i'm seeing mid 5's on stuff right now when it's seasoned 6 months with a tenant in place

Mid Range 8units ,6250 sf garage , 9600 sf apartments , 1200sf circulation.

I have got lot of prospects that are intersted but to my surprise all of them have bad credit scores - mid 500s to low 600sTypically in this situation I would expect them to put in a higher - 3 month rent as security deposit but so far every prospect has declined to put in a higher depositWhat do you do in this sitation ?

In other words, my risk wasn't where I thought it was.Which one do you think you are more accurate on and how accurate do you think it is reasonable for ARV to be on a mid-level, 6 month close-to-close flip.
