Or if you're an investor and want to talk shop!

Totally normal when you buy your house and yet you find yourself shopping for next deal.

Give yourself a place to retreat to when the day is over: finished bedroom and bathroom, usable kitchen.Buy a shop vac, soft bristle broom, a dustpan, and a big trash can, and sweep your living-area and path at night.  

I used american savings currently for my two personal mortgages, but they only allow conforming mortgages, so I will have to refinance elsewhere. 

Good morning BP family,I looked at a bank own property, 2 bedroom 1 bath, garage with a basement.I am looking to take out a 203k loan for the repairs.I was wondering do I get an inspection before I shop for a 203k contractor, or get the contractor first to give me an estimate of the cost?

Depending on if I choose to rent or flip the house, the rehab could go up or down, but it is in an established & quiet neighborhood with great access to shopping, Costco, restaurants, the Air Force base.

If you ever wanna grab coffee and talk shop let me know!

That should impress a few bankers giving all of them something to talk about at their next local American Banker's Association meeting! 

To answer your questions, my initial thoughts are:1) Who is the ideal tenant - any real estate related start up or small shop, including - architects, independent brokers, appraisers, lenders, equity investors, contractors, developers, investors, designers, escrow officers, etc.  

You can go work for a SFR REIT or private equity company like Invitation Homes, American Home 4 Rent, etc. which own 500-2,000 homes in a single market.
