Unless you have a specific home (mansions or complete fixer uppers), many agents will fit your needs. 

It is a REAL fixer-upper.  

If lending doesnt happen I plan to take cash on hand and purchase a cheap fixer upper over in Gary IN to get out of renting then save cash to buy a Hud property.

Hi guys,New member here from "the U.P." I'm a small business owner looking to get into real estate investing as a means to accelerate my financial independence. Any other Yoopers on Bigger Pockets?Cheers!Jesse

She seems very educated and upper class.

Here are some before/after pics of what I did (I forgot to take before pics of the finished unit so including before pics of the mirror-image second unit I'm working on now):(took out a wall to make it appear larger, enlarged the kitchen to add dishwasher, chalkboard wall, built-in counter-height table and put a sliding barn door on closet)(added pallet wood accent wall, aluminum backsplash, built-in wine rack, deep sink with industrial faucet and stainless doors on upper cupboards)(replaced tub with large stand-up tiled shower and shower head with body jets)(added a pallet wood accent wall to the larger bedroom)(added a coffee sack accent wall to the smaller bedroom)

We also converted upper unit into 2 seperate units so we now have a triplex that cashflows over 1k/ mo amd we got paid 20k to but this place.

I'm still formulating how I'll approach this, but I would like to keep busy with a hands on fixer upper project at all times and also, eventually, hold on to some rental properties. 

The first floor is a 2/1, and the upper a 3/1.

I'm currently looking at a property about $1,000,000 that I see as about a 12CAP... slightly lower than my average, but a solid property (24 units, only 1 empty, not a fixer-upper).I mentioned to a few people I know personally that for an investment of 50-200k, I could guarantee a 5% return.
