@Matt Shields I think if your plan is using the MLS, foreclosure lists, and other easily accesible means of finding deals then yes your going to struggle find projects that give you the margins you want.

-Tell them politely but firmly on the call that they are all on one lease and the entire first month's rent has to be paid prior to move in.

Home Depot offers project loans up to $50,000 (I think) at 8% interest. 

BRRRR isn't the best for a newbie either (at least not a large project) which is why I suggested house hacking FHA won't let you buy anything too terrible and in a worst case scenario you at least have a rental unit and a place to live even if it doesn't offer the best financial return.

Once I get my current project closed and rehab started (not in Corpus) I will reach out. 

The professional should have experience in similar campaigns for real estate related projects.  

I've been rehabbing the project and was considering a wholesale if the price was right.

We spent 30k on the project and now its renting for 1200 per month which covers our mortgage and some of our utilities!

Ive been working with few projects around container homes, mainly on the container supplies side since i could get great deal and have good relationship with container manufacturing company in Vietnam.

We have been ramping up our fix and flip operation and have 5 projects currently in the works.
