I am aiming for a home between 150-250k, which i can afford if all hell breaks loose, at a 5% conventional 30 year term loan (unless a lender or someone else can suggest me a better loan) My question is what are the minimum requirements for obtaining such a home (capital wise, credit score wise, salary wise) Who can i specifically talk to for these numbers and help me understand tenant demand, areas, and more specific information about my market?

With this being your first fix and flip, you'll want to ask a lot of questions and truly understand what the Hard Money/Private Money loan looks like.

Individuals and companies are representing different possible risks for banks to loan money too.

There you will be asked your criteria and then after answering a few questions you will be matched with 3-5 agents or loan officers in your area.

Conventional loan.

Just curious if anyone has successfully closed on 2 or more properties at once that are not owned by the same seller using a single blanket loan/portfolio loan?

DSCR loans won't use your income to underwrite the loan.
