New investor in Birmingham AL area - I'm closing on my first property, that I intend to turn into a Section 8 rental.

I guess my hang up is that if I’m already using loaned money as a down payment, how will the bank approve another loan on top of the HELOC.  

I'm always up to talk about investing and networking.

How long are you going to keep the place and how quickly are rents going up in your area? 

For fix & flips and rentals, what creative strategies have helped you close deals?

If there are any issues, you are only a two-hour drive away, so you could set up a time to come out to take care of an issue, or if it is urgent, you can call a company to come out and handle it.

My attorney's drafted the mortgage and note and we sent it to our favorite title broker at Fidelity National Title for closing.

Hey Tina I would save up a little more before doing your first flip.

Just new dynamic I’m not used to, going up and introducing myself to random people.

A local lender has a first-time homebuyer program that offers 0% down with no PMI and $2k towards closing costs with a very competitive rate (6.025% as of 8/19/24).
