Short term or long term goals?

@Kevin Schultz In my area you need cash to purchase from the auction, typically a percentage is paid upfront with the balance being due shortly after.  

But we were short of paint and got more paint with the same color and completed the task.

And it would have been that much harder if it wasn't a short-ish drive away.   

I have four short term rentals here that perform really well year round. 

Dos it require rehab or just need a short term bridge loan?

If you're coming in min down payment, long inspection time, long closing, no one is going to care.If you come in close to market value, short inspection, short closing, above average down/deposit....

I bought my 1st 4plex in Edinburg about 6 years ago as part of a short sale and that turned out really nicely.

I am a little dismayed with the short-term setback, but I welcome the opportunity for growth.Is anyone else going through a similar situation?

Do your homework - there is no short cut in this game.
