Budget questions/comments: No new lighting or plumbing fixtures?

I've done a couple of light rehabs but nothing substantial.

Be warned, these types of loans often come with higher points, higher interest rates, and shorter terms than you might get if you were to personally guarantee the note. - Buy one smaller property and hold onto it for two years, investing the rest of that cash elsewhere.

But, I will warn you, if you go the wholesaling route be prepared to market like a mad man and set aside an actual marketing budget.

First thing I suggest is to spend some time in the forums, listen to some podcasts and do a little bit of reading so that you can gain a light understanding of the nuts and bolts and strategies used to invest in real estate.

@Patrick Cruse, as a contractor, terms like light fixer, heavy fixer are meaningless.

A tiny basement studio with no light and old fixtures ... probably not going to do it.

@Mark Weinstock browsed is cheaper for sure but just like anywhere you have to look at the area. just to give you guys a heads up. i found a realtor that was my coworker. i can trust her and i feel pretty good that she won't commission hunt on me. by pure luck her brother 20 years ago bought 2 SF and 2 quadplex and he retired a while back just living off the rent. he has been buying and selling other homes for flips. he has decades of experience. hoping he will throw some knowledge my way. there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

However I've done the math, I know there is an ability to add spot lights to the big common parking area (with garage space for each unit!)
