@Armell MayersBigger Pockets is a great place to find a real estate tax accountant.

FHA only good if putting LESS than 20% down and you MUST live in one unit.Please clarify what you're trying to do...

If you can get a better deal on the home due to age its a fine and if you need financing banks do not judge year built. 

I am new to real estate investing and looking to connect with any local investor.

They will do a Good title search that no liens or mortgage issues with the firemineral rights transfer, easements, a survey, type things need to be clear.glad you escaped the fire with your health is main thing

That tells me that the lenders have a very positive outlook for first time home buyers.

So it’s hard to let them go. 

Thanks in advance-LukeThe way I calculate cash on cash is It cost me X dollars out of my pocket to buy the property and after the first year I had Y dollars flowing back into my pocket.

Man, thats awesome, I would love to start buying at PreForeclosures, how did you find the lender?

But really read everything here to get started.
