Just make sure to check their credentials and experience, and find someone who can explain things in simple terms.Also, keep an eye out for any red flags, like promises of huge refunds without a thorough review or pressure to pay a percentage of your refund.

If you get a red card, you can not proceed.

Get out of your comfort zone.

As a lender it is a big red flag for me when I ask a potential borrower what the ARV and rehab budget is and have them say "well, the wholesaler says xyz".   

Be sure to check w/ zoning before buying anything near a college.

@Gary R UrenIf the property is zoned for only one home you most likely will not be able to do thisPossibly it could be 123 main st unit a vs b but that is a post office issue and good luck dealing with the post office on this issueI would talk to them and put to mailboxes in the front and see if they can separate it by A and B unit

Regulations include NIMBYism, slow permitting, over permitting, zoning that has not been brought to current demands, etc.

Also, if you have worked with house movers, any advice on things I should avoid or red flags with these guys?  

The lot is outside of the city limits (just barely) so I'm only familiar with city zoning regulations, not county or state regulations.

Only exception to my situation is that its zoned R-1 but its a duplex.
