Price range is anywhere up to ~$380k, possibly more if I found a smoking deal.I've been working with a local realtor, and she's been great.

I have also heard when going to a local bank to get a portfolio loan you should have a business plan to show the lender and convince them that your investment will produce positive returns resulting in a low possibility of defaulting on the loan. 

Any help would be great as I am wanting to get into my own place as soon as possible!

I own 4 units (3 houses) currently and I am looking to buy more as soon as possible and I can close fast!

In that situation, I might choose to raise the capital and build the project, or possibly flip it to another developer if I can't raise the funds myself.

Always remember to do the math analysis on the prospective property and try to look at the subject property before you make an offer or at least have a clause that allows you the time (about 15 days) to make a detailed inspection and possibly back out of the deal without a penalty that hurts you.Right after you close get an insurance policy that will protect you if there is a loss.  

Hey guys,Our county just put out the Upset Sale list of houses going up for taxes next month.If I were to reach out to the owners and try to buy their houses NOW, before they go to the auction, is that possible?

Another goal in parallel is also to build a REI portfolio for my family (2 awesome siblings & my parents).I came to join Bigger Pockets in order to learn from seasoned pros, beginners, & everything else in between & possibly even work with some of you in the future.

I'm interested in buying and holding rental properties for long term cash flows, House Hacking the next property I live in, and possibly wholesaling to build investment capital quicker. 

But look at all possible deals.ThanksStephen
