I am still staying at home, my girlfriend has one more year of law school and then we will stay with my parents for one year before looking to buy our primary home with joint income.

I'm currently searching for a house to flip, and I noticed under the "by owner & other" there are a ton of foreclosed homes.

I will Also do take into account the fact the refund window is impossibly short at 3 days for anyone not 75 or older, how you can decide if you are satisfied with a lender inside of 3 days for finding a deal, and doing the appraisal etc is beyond meYes, they are a scam as I tried using them and besides getting locked out of my account constantly, which seems to be from their side of things from how they made it sound, they have rather unrealistic requirement's (Comps that none of the local realtors or other lenders use for one thing i.e too narrow),or the fact they expect total rehabs to be done inside of a month or 2 and then the property should sell instantly after that, they want all of that done in the space of 5 months, even deciding a property is something else entirely, deciding that other homes are businesses (Like a bike shop) even though they are clearly residential SFR or apartments.

Lastly, we own our current home.

My goal is to get out of high school with one or two single family homes and expand from there.

Especially now that home values are about to increase again, mostly in part to lower rates as of last week and still lower to come after the election and into 2025.As these mortgage rates continue to drop further it will cause more buyers to come off of the side line putting in offers. 

In sunset hills Missouri they do require the home owner or representative have a mailing adddress in the city  

The process is seamless compared to typical government loans.

The Details: 3 Single Family rental homes on one .34 AC lot with existing long term tenants. 

Milwaukee is the typical example of how this plays out: we are currently the #6 hottest market in the US.
