I’m getting closer to becoming a real estate agent and I want to know what made you successful at attracting first time homebuyers?

You can drive by them, you can maybe press your nose against a window to look and see what you can see if the property is abandoned... but you don't know what you don't know about the property.We have bought 4 properties through foreclosure.  3 worked out about as we expected.  

I am considering investing in Ohio, based on successful investments by friends but am open to other areas provided the fundamentals make sense.I look forward to connecting with fellow investors, real estate agents, and property managers to share insights and identify promising opportunities.Thanks,Julien Hello, I know many investors from Belgium that have and continue to buy in the Cleveland markets. 

Staying in the Wilmington area makes the most sense, as we really know that market, but I also have a soft spot for the western part of NC!  

Please let us know if you need any assistance with this as we're a local mortgage brokerage located in Fall River MA.

I am househacking this property so I do plan on moving out for the first time as well.I know this is a pretty vague question but any insight would be awesome.

MLS, knowing my numbers, knowing the market, studying the listing, and having a team in place.

So when looking over these Property reports on HUD listed properties ( or any property for that matter ) , what things do I need to look for on these Reports , that I Know will disqualify a property from getting approved for a VA loan ?

They don't know anything about you, have no proof you can even buy the house; for all they know you could just be casing the place.

In the end...they know that the LLC likely carries some form of liability insurance as a condition of their mortgage, thus will have some decent funds to pay out.
