Ideally you want to buy 2nd liens with a preforming first lien.

In some ways these are ideal candidates because they are more likely to stick with you  given they are just starting out.

We are targeting Condos and SF Homes for first time home buyers, so our ideal price point will most likely be in the high $100k's. 

Ideally, we would get the loaned money after we win the auction.

Ideally, I am looking for shorter commitments, from maybe 6 months to maximum 2 years for the loan. 

Ideally, I would like to get involved in build-to-suit (BTS) projects and development projects that involve taking raw land from the zoning stages, to site planning stages, and finally to building permit stages.I'm excited to joy BP, with the wealth of knowledge here and the opportunity to network, I'm looking forward to getting to know other members!

Over time YES you will see appreciation but if you can gain cash flow that would be more ideal.

Ideally, I would like to establish an income on which to rely for the future...Thanks for the insights!

I hope the pictures I sent to you, can give you the ideal inside of the house.

Ideally, both would qualify for the rent, but if one doesn't and there isn't a better applicant, collect a large security deposit to cover the lower-income tenant.
