It seems like everybody who comes had some struggles with credit or Back ground or income.I bought the place two months ago and it’s almost completely finished.

@Sam JurgensonThe one thing I'd really mention is that when we got the FHA offer accepted on the 4plex that I bought this summer, everything was going according to plan until we tried to qualify the FHA financing in escrow.  

When I bought my condo they did a land survey (which feels pointless when you only own the sheetrock and in.)Otherwise you shouldn't need 25% down for owner occupied property.

Those are typically best left to the local investors  I agree with caleband if it were such a great deal, a local would have bought it already and it wouldn't be listed on FB

Regarding the C/D areas, I've bought several in North Tulsa and sometimes I've hated them, but mostly I've loved them.

One of my mottos is I am my brand, and my brand is me and when I am looking at a deal to buy (to either flip myself or to turn and around and wholesale) I make sure to talk about why I am doing this, that I have every intention of being here tomorrow, the next, and the day after that.

Hello Bigger Pockets,I am a brand new investor looking for my first deal.

You can get that discount only in stores, not online.I went through 2 Ryobi sets and fried them, I don't recommend them.

I don't disagree but reality is you may have bought a 3500 square foot, 100+ year old brick duplex in crime ridden part of town for $30,000 that would have a reconstruction cost estimate of $390,000 to $450,000. 

I bought my first "investment" property as a primary home when I was stationed in El Paso, Texas.
