Rehab is a natural thing, just make sure yo do what is what the market in that area will support that.  

All I had was a lot of determination and a supportive girl friend (whom I am married to for 10 years as of this writing).One of the top banks in India gave me a pre-sanction letter that they will finance 80% of the property value or my eligibility amount, whichever is lower.

These are the guys who have the 'we buy ugly houses' advertisements. websearch for them. 

The whole one bathroom thing is something I usually just avoid all together unless you budget for a second bath to be added and valuations can support that. 

@Luke Holcomb thanks for the support! 

I have recently begun analyzing deals and am working on perfecting an excel tool.My goal is to become a full time investor or own a business supporting real estate investors in the area (leaning toward property management).

Then, find a great lawyer and accountant to determine the best business structure to support your investing and provide the most tax shelter for income.  

BP is a treasure trove of information and supportive members who have a genuine desire to support one another.

My investing is limited to part time as I still have to work an 8-5 jobs since the income from my rental properties is not enough to support my family and the debt against them at this time.  

I am a broker and auctioneer in Maryland as well as a developer of commercial real estate.An agent can bring you listed properties (where all the competition is), that's a good thing, but will they bring you FSBO's and expired listings, will they spend money to advertise for the type of property you are looking for.I think you need a personal marketing plan to find that 1 out of 10 deal that is a home run for you.Charles
