Not sure you really make more money.BRRRR would be interesting if you can find it.Flipping is competitive and brings in cash but not long term wealth.They all are great options, it just depends.

It depends. all you talked about was the property but financing is more about the borrower, their experience, their credit, the cash available etc.

If you said the property was valued at $200k, then 2nd position may still bid in an attempt to run up the numbers depending on what kind of haircut they're looking at. 

Am I correct that a condo, depending on area and neighborhood, could be a lower risk/maintenance investment for an absentee landlord as opposed to other properties?

It will take time to build a dependable and reliable network of licensed professionals you can trust.

Depending on the types of roles, I may be able to get you some resources.Good luck! 

With your budget, depending on where you are working, I'd consider Silver Spring or Hyattsville  

I think this question is dependent upon location.

You could use a HELOC, but with VA loans you have an allotment so you can get loans on more than one home depending on how much bandwidth they give you.

Hi, pre foreclosure in all of its permutations, before the bank sends Notice of Default (NOD) or efter which is state even county dependant but often starts a 4 week clock till the trustee auction are the 2nd most difficult deal scenario and IMHO only experienced investors should bother, the 1st most difficult deal scenario are bidding at the court house steps on lord only knows what is being auctioned off sometimes even 2nd mortgages, you need to do so much home work to attempt to reduce your risk at the court house steps...Pre foreclosure no one talks about these issues, always about the nice sounding stuff like "motivated seller" get a good deal etc etc both are usually not the case.- 95% of folks in pre or post NOD want to stay in their house, keep their house inspite of them 100% will loose the house at the auction.
