I am a new investor so pardon my lack of knowledge but, I recently came across a great job opportunity in my 9-5, however given the nature I am NOT permitted to purchase REOs from FNMA, or purchase homes in short sales or other foreclosure auctions where the home is secured by a FNMA-owned loan.

Hi BP Community,I am under contract to purchase a rental property which has very poor natural light during the day. 

Not having the natural gas bill is one less thing tenants have to pay.

Anchorage does have extreme dark in Dec/Jan compared to lower 48 - but temps aren't bad - and natural gas is relatively cheap.

There is so much you can improve around you, let negotiating become a second nature.

I WILL fix it up some- it's in my nature and I need/want a project to do.

Moving averages naturally dampen sharp changes in prices causing them to appear as smoother, but sustained changes instead. 

In the north region you can also invest in rural tourism, ex. near the natural parks, river beaches and waterfalls.

@Jack NorrisThe point of BRRRR is to lower your risks by purchasing at a bigger discount due to the distressed nature of the property.

I've naturally been pretty frugal, and before getting into real-estate, I paid off the majority of a small, 30-year mortgage on my first condo and have around 90k in equity I'm looking to free up to look for another investment property.
