How do you handle a situation where you have repairs where the tenant cannot live in the property until the repairs are made. 

I’ve flipped in the dc area for years, right now there is just money & in the vast majority of cases there is high likelihood of losing money, right now the best investments in the area imo are buy & hold, I’ve even gone full circle and while I really liked value add for most of the last decade I think in a lot of ways new construction especially in more affordable markets (I’m personally a big fan of the eastern shore market) is a much better way to make money long term than flipping and brrring while I know they are sexy & certainly you getting a huge paycheck is great, there just isn’t any money in it right now, especially in nova. 

And if I would be interested in a one year personal coaching for $3,500.

However, you do need to handle this situation carefully, make sure you follow a standard screening process to avoid any Fair Housing Act violations.I'm honestly not even sure if you can initiate the conversation with the parole officer, if they reach out to you, or the tenant provides the info and offers the opportunity to call them, that's a different story.Make sure you apply the same screening criteria you use for all potential tenants. 

Start with getting rid of high interest, “dead weight” debt ( cars, credit cards, personal loans, student loans, etc.).

Can you personally get that right now?

@Gerardo Waisbaum, is this personal capital or LP capital?

They then sold that and bought a 250 unit in OKC all C and D class and had to move there as they almost lost  it in foreclosure.. took 5 years of them living there and managing it personally to stablize and finally sell.. then bought a 20 uniit back in Oregon where it all started.. this over the course of a few decades.

Starting in REI can already be a little nerve racking, so I recommend doing your first deal on the easiest mode you can to build your confidence and build your skill set.If I had to do it all over again, I'd buy a personal home with 3-5% down then repeat every 12-18 months.
