His program sounds great!

I got this property at the right time, it was on the market for $699,000.00, seller needed to sell, I offered $550,000.00 after they cut to $650,000.00 and we agreed on $600,000.00.

And I should mention that I operate primarily off-market, so I've been thinking about diversifying into another market. 

But a "VOM" satisfies it even with payments required.I certainly understand that some markets have more "investor friendly" lenders than other markets. 

Many people in your position consider speaking with potential partners and co-signers.The co-op/condo market offers more options within your price range.

@Kevin Michel I'd work backwards from your skillset, amount of capital you have (or can raise), and the market you're interested in. 

It appears that a significant portion of the business's value lies in its name, website, marketing, furnishings and other intangible assets.

By dispo side I plan on wholesaling and working with other wholesalers in the market who also have leads and connecting them with my buyers if the numbers, location and details are all in a row.  

Hello Andy, if your 1st property is finished you will be able to pull 75-80% of the market value out of it, if you have a minimum of a 660 Credit Score you can get a DSCR rate which will be in the high 6 to low 7% range.

If you can do well in this market, you should be able to get more good deals done when things get a little easier for buyers/investors!
