While I wait with baited breath for Brian Burke's annual market analysis for the coming year...

The 4 Hour Work Week has a section that takes a deep dive into vetting VA's to get the most bang for your buck, and also ensure productivity.

What they almost all have in common... they need to be rehabbed, their is a definite upside for resale and money to be made, and for the resale, there are mortgage lender who will write a mortgage for an end user, owner occupant.These should be a perfect low cost, point of entry for new investors that don't have deep pockets, and offer a low risk entry point into investing.The difficulty here has been in finding lenders who will provide purchase and/or purchase & rehab loans on this particular type of property.If you know of a lender, I would happily share it with investrs that favor this type of property.Thanks,John Rogers

@Deep Shrestha are you looking just in DFW?

I am most interested in diving into the deep-end and rehabing and flipping as much as I can and wholesaling the properties that I cannot afford/handle.So I'm guessing if I do engage in wholesaling, I should not put that I sell houses unless I have a BRE?

Have co-founded a start up that was born as a deep clean, rehab, and staging service, that has blossomed into an investment company as well.

Hi Clem,I understand how you feel - take a deep breath and just do it - sitting on the fence is a killer of dreams and a life unfulfilled..Good luck

Hey have not brought a property yet, but i like absentee and abandon owner properties if i can get a  deep -discount by way of the MLS or driving for dollars

Depending on the breath of the property portfolio you are working with there may be some opportunities.  

Can you get the property at a deep discount?
