So lending will be harder (worse terms) but those can change as you gain experience in the eyes of underwriters and banks/CU’s.2.

Bonus: you'll have another set of eyes that'll keep you in mind when properties matching your criteria come to market.

Couple of mins later, the doctor comes out to tell me, "it's a boy" and couple of tears rolled down my eyes....

@Matt Roberts, I am blown away by some of the success stories and while I'm sure we're both approaching this with our eyes wide open in the pursuit of realistic, sustainable goals in mind; it'll be awesome to one day be able to tell our story to encourage others!

If you are handy and like doing hands on repairs, try to buy in an area that you will be in, or driving thru from time to time, at least that way you can keep some costs down by doing some of the work yourself, or at least you can keep your own eyes on how the properties are being kept up.  

Many of you may be going into your first rehab projects with eyes wide open and are thus well aware of these additional costs.

It seems that the prices are pretty high right now since I am not the only person trying to do this.I was thinking that perhaps I should keep an eye out but just start saving up capacity and collect information on this and wait for the next recession to do this.

The idea of taking the neighborhood's eye-sore and flipping it into a grand profitable property instantly hooked me.
