Let's assume I take the same 50K, and purchase the same type of SFH every year.Home Listed at $210,000 - offer accepted at a 10% discount ($189,000). 20% down (37,800), closing costs ($5,000), and light renovation costs on carpet, paint, minor fixes, etc. ($7,200).

I use a very high quality, branded sign not one you buy at Home Depot. 

You can probably do a FHA, unless the WHEDA is some kind of re-branded program.

I also buy vintage glass light covers/fixtures at Construction Junction or Habitat for Humanity Restore to put in my rentals as they add a lot of character and look much better than most of the modern ones sold at Lowe's/Home Depot.I would ask a selling agent about the cabinets to see what he/she thinks about staining them VS painting them.

Like I mentioned I'm brand new to learning real estate and right now I'm seeking my niche approach.

The three reasons I left were to create my own brand (brokered by another company), and to earn passive income, and to be with one of the best real estate technology companies. 

Will you be able to rent out a 'not brand new' house for what you did on the first tenant?

The contract included: a bedroom to bathroom conversion, recessed lighting on the second and first floor, new kitchen, new powder room, and new vinyl plank flooring throughout the first floor.

I'm brand new and hungry to learn.

Hi,As a brand new Realtor (no income yet), without other employment but with a fully paid off home and good credit, what would my chances be of qualifying for a new mortgage on a home I intend to house hack with 3.5% down?
