There's of course hidden fees like upgrades, price of the foundation, land, zoning challenges, connecting to sewer etc but I'm curious as to someone's actual numbers on their experience with one of these (modern or traditional). 

Traditionally most who get priced out of the city go to Prince George's for the most part. 

We have always been a traditional brokerage (i.e., we help investors buy and sell houses that people other than CrestCore own).

@Charlie Cameron if you do go more traditional than wholesale there is also a VA renovation loan available that only a few lenders offer.

I figured traditional FHA lending would present a number of issues: delays, costs, and other limitations.

A traditional lender will require that you have 25% "skin" in any property, but that doesn't have to be cash, it can be equity.

Is it similar to your traditional loan where it’s based off you your DTI, credit,W2 job or is it based souly off of the property’s LTV?

We work with all kind of clients in Denver and Colorado Springs from first-timer homebuyers to high-end homes to traditional investors to house-hacking/Airbnb short-term rental buyers. 

If you had the cash for SFH rental properties (ie. traditional financing isn't an option currently because you're in between jobs), is it a good idea to invest using buy & hold strategy to start.. and in NW Austin?
