I recently finished reading "HOLD"  by Steve Chader and Jennice Doty and it was a phenomenal book that broke down every step of the process for analyzing, buying, and managing a rental property.

Columbus has two REIAs, Chillicothe has one, and it's the one I attend (planning on going to Columbus in the near future).

So I am new to the site, and thought I would get some feedback regarding the lending process and flips.There are some creative ways and I would love to hear from people on their experiences.I have been involved with numerous flips, but I am looking to now do my own.

I've been in discussions with the listing agent for the past week and one of the things that's come up is a tenant is currently going through the eviction process.

We have had other candidates who say they are self employed but our process requires tax returns - although we have had a couple who could produce the appropriate pages, most of them go on to admit they don't report it and thus are unable to verify the income.

I am looking, specifically, at using the 203(k) loan program through FHA for my first home purchase, and I am doing research as to what exactly that process would entail, or whether there might be a better option for rehabbing my own first purchase, post-closing.I live in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC, and am originally a native of Baltimore, MD.

I'm pretty sure Brandon has a video on the YouTube channel about driving for dollars and explains the process of finding the owner.

And it seems baffling there are no construction or architecture firms dedicated to the concept.There is no convention in shipping container construction, therefore every step of the process is clunky, i.e. time-consuming, i.e. expensive.This is why, I believe, it hasn't (really) worked, which is definitely not to say that it won't work.

WIth your pedigree I can only assume the actual studying and testing process would be a walk on the park.  

Happy to talk through my process with you want to connect through a direct message here.
