I still have confidence in these areas.

Like a lot of other people on here mentioned, be sure you're confident with the location. 

.- Get help running the numbers on properties in the area and don’t stop analyzing deals until you feel confident in your numbers.

Evaluate the indicators to have confidence of continued long term appreciation (market and rent) to ensure that the long term return is likely to continue.Some things to note:We have never got all of my investment (down plus value add costs) out of the refinance. 

I would have no confidence that you could wholesale it above the price the owner seeks seeing that he has already placed it on the MLS. 

If you’re confident and know what your doing go for it if not hire a professional.

Hey there jon yes I will self manage it and the numbers are as accurate as they can be I’m confident it’s hard to find anything over here that’s cheap enough that’s rent high enough 

I'm confident if you have a good credit score, you can get in the low 2's without points.

Remember, YOU are the one that's ahead of the game jumping in at your age and YOU are the one that is going to be likely more successful then those you come across tomorrow when you hit their age, so walk with confidence and leverage your instincts during discussions...and it sounds like you have financing pre-approval already in order so anyone giving you crap doesn't deserve the commission from your acquisition anyway

It really is up to you and your confidence in your business plan as well as the property itself.
