My aim would be to buy cheaper properties that can be fixed up and cash flow, and for my budget I was exploring the option of sec8 residents as one potential route, with the goal of cash out refinancing. 

Taxpayers do not want to supplement investors with low down payments on property loans nor take on the risk of an investment property loan that originated less than a year ago as an o/o...again, no equity.

On top of that, I was wondering how much money I should aim to have in order to do one of these (I have $1,400), I am young so I would be willing to work for a while and save as much as possible while living with my parents.

Cap rate is 8-13% depending on long term rental or short term rental, but my team and we would be aiming to manage it as a short term rental for that 12-13% cap rate.

This would be an off-market deal, and I'm aiming for seller financing.

Aim Small-miss small.

Then for vacancy our units we aim to have a new lease signed for the day a tenant leaves so there is ideally 0 vacancy on re-leasing.

There’s a house in my home town that is “for sale by owner” and I was wondering if that’s a good sign to aim for a wholesale, given that I can find a list of buyers or line one up before proceeding.I know agents typically shun wholesalers so this particular deal stuck out to me while driving around town.

Im not necessarily looking to cashflow a profit off this property but more so to obtain a HELOC on it after all said and done to start financing the next deal, which we are aiming for duplex.

Our budget is aimed to improve the kitchen, bathrooms, and increase living area.
