Something I've been wondering about.Steve

Their customer service has been wonderful in my experience.

I was wondering if someone could recommend a lender and/or contractor with good understanding of FHA 203k?

I have used USAA for 38 years and they are wonderful for personal banking.  

Wondering where out-of-state, or even just out of Central Texas, people have chosen to pick up some properties, and what those are.Cheers,David

Where I'm from that would be a bizarre configuration, but the sheer numbers of these types of properties I've found during my search have me wondering if that's just the usual in other states?

i'm getting my arv based on similar finished properties based on comps i found on zillow and redfin. figured with the repairs/upgrades, the arv would be $270k. current listed price is $235k and overestimating on $35k in repairs, which will be made over the course of the year while i live there.the real estate agent gave me some comps to compare, but it was similar to the comps i pulled from redfin.

If I can network with an active investor to see how it's ran from start to finish even better!!

ROI diminishes with time.If you value cash you would never allow it to sit as dead equity.Thomas, I am also new here and was wondering if you could expand a bit on your comment above.

I’m posting this on PRO forum because I’m wondering if anyone has experience with this.
