I was confident I would get it but someone else did it.

Flip as much cheap property as you can to build up a bank balance and your confidence.  

Nothing like living in a place to learn it well enough to be a knowledgeable and confident investor.

After running several pro forma scenarios, I’m highly confident that this property will cash flow after rehab.I’m going back with both my contractor and electrician (both of whom are family members offering some of their precious time) this weekend to inspect the home and prepare a fair market estimate/scope of work.

Brian Foster will be happy to go over any questions, if you are local, he can show you our duplexes we are building. 

If you are confident you can fix the place and add value you should have no problem paying back any lender. - if you give a little more information about the potential deal and yourself you may be able to find that partner/ lender right here on BP

Hi BP,Just want to say thank you to the BP community for all the knowledge and confidence that you have provided. 

Still to early for me to jump into this market head first but I am still confident in my investments so far.    

Depending on your appetite for risk and your confidence in the local and national real estate markets I would re-finance this house into a loan where you don't have PMI, rent it out and then use whatever extra cash you have to buy another rental in a different market than Vegas.

I would love to start building relationships so I definitely need to find a realtor I have confidence in.
