Appreciation will be slow and steady again.

Been a long time investor in the markets (since my teens) but I'm tired of the small SLOW margins ~ Make money, loose money, start all over again...

@Max Tanenbaum has great advice. an established roofing company may be to let you differ payment, which would be like financing with no interest involved. they get the business, and with a signed contract can spread their payment out over the winter, when their business slows down 

He looks decent and it is a slow season, I really would like to make it work.Thank you in advance for any advice you can provide!

However, this has subsequently slowed down or played out altogether depending on the market you're farming or intend to farm.The best thing you can do is look towards wholesaling deals to someone who might be interested in bringing you in as a partner if they like the way you do biz or think you have potential.Lastly, there are lots of credible sources on the Internet that will help teach you how to write a successful business plan.

The location we are looking in is a small city in Western PA with slow growth potential.  

The seller told me they had fixed it and the FHA appraiser missed it the second time around (who was let go after my home because she made so many mistakes  and was so slow to complete her job) and even I missed it on for two weeks but the problem was still present.

Some counties just are really slow at processing them but that in know way affects your ownership

I think gaining the understanding of get rich slow and build a solid and lasting business is truly important to those of us just getting started.

I know that area pretty good.You are getting Hard Money Basically...(200K ARV x .70 = 140K) at a high interest rate for a very low and slow return on your money.
