Say your house is in dallas, city goes bankrupt, has to hike property tax by 10x (easiest way to collect money for a city), values decline a lot and can be worth zero.

i.e such as down payment requirements, whether gift money is allowed, hedge reserve funds... 

May be easiest to lookup another wholesaler in Florida area that has been around for a while and ask them.

Being the only male in the household growing up, I have maintained all three family cars, general house work, such as building deck/ driveway/ landscaping.I have always been gifted in Math, and decided to apply that skills within the Finance realm while in highschool and college, seeking the American dream of passive and active investing rather than working behind a desk for 40 hours a week.

Some banks will allow the down pymt money to be a gift from family

Its sounding more and more like seller financing is my main option, other than a gift from a family member or something like that, or just getting an unsecured loan in my personal name and then just refinancing it after I secure it, into the business name.I've been approached on BP (unfortunately) by a couple of "PML's" that seem to be very.... red-flaggy(?

First, the roughly $50k in equity we have would give us money for down payment, closing costs, and cash reserves without having to deplete our emergency fund or spend the next couple years saving before we can invest.Second, we want to take advantage of owners occupant financing such as FHA on this deal to get the low interest rate and down payment as this seems like the easiest way to get started.My question is what order of operations do you folks recommend?

They are the easiest to work with.Good Luck.

A freestanding range  is cheapest and easiest if you have to replace.

As a newer investor the FHA or traditional 20% down loan would probably be the easiest and cheapest, but you can also look for:A hard money loanA private investment from friends/family/local person with excess cash sitting aroundOr you can ask the seller to do seller financing.
