@Max Tanenbaum I don't love this team, and I give Philly a chance to come out of the east.

The next investment will have a great chance to be even better than the initial investment.Good luck.

Hey Andrew,If you have a chance take a look at the Spokane market.

The first engineer wouldn't answer any calls/emails so we had to find another guy who would certify, he was less easy going and made up do some foundation improvements before he would certify.

From what I heard, banks and credit unions tend to decline loan applications from self-employed people because we're viewed as high-risk.Are there any best practices or tips on how I can improve my chances of getting a home loan?

Don’t miss your chance!

If you buy at the highest historical prices for the development, there's no room for improvement, no matter how much money you dump into it. 

But, chances are, you'd never see a dime.Use BP to gather knowledge and set yourself up for success later. 

Not in too bad of condition but definitely can be spruced up.What would you improve in this rental to add value and  increase rent just from looking at the photos?

I think it would be best to continue improving my credit while shopping the investment plan to friends and family.
