Even I never make an offer I will tell you that I am learning more going through these early stages than most books.

I would suggest concentrating on one stage within the whole process and learning how to add value there.

I'd do it all again in a heartbeat.If you're still at the beginning stages be smart, know your numbers, put in the hard work and stick with it!

Wait until the Rehab is done, stage it, then hold an open house.Don't let a potential buyer see the disaster that is happening while you are rehabbing.

Hi to BP membersMy name is Mandy I am in the beginning stages of starting my family ran business.

I am currently in my last year of college and am studying a degree in Education (Elementary/High school).

Is there anything else I need to know at this stage of the game?  

As an agent, I would love to have ALL my clients stage their homes for sale!

You stage things out.

Here are some of the other issues:The market prices are relatively low, which means the "conventional" lenders won't lend since the net loan is very low.Credit unions are happy to lend on investment properties, so long as I "live, work or worship in the counties served".Unfortunately I'm used to "conventional" means of financing, so at this stage I'm asking for help, ideas, and assistance to get my plan going.
