Really think about that, there's a lot of range between a house in perfect condition and something that needs a full rehab.

(Side Note: if you really want to jump your credit score in a few months (because it takes time for the reporting to update), and if your disciplined with your spending try this;1st) I went and did the math to see what my positive cash flow each month off my active income (let’s say you’ve got $500 left over after you go through your monthly spending avg. which is all you kick out vs what you bring in)2nd) Go get a credit card with 0% interest for 12mths with NO higher than 5% transfer fee.( their are some with low as a 0% transfer and I had got that one on my 2nd round cause my credit wouldn’t let me at first)3rd) do a transfer balance after 24- 48hrs of opening the card (Nope you don’t need wait to actually get the card just call in and tell them over the phone to send a Blanche transfer check to your bank account in the amount of your car Balance; because you’ve only got a 30day window of transfer with 0% interest for the 12mths)4th) PAY YOUR CAR OFF IN FULL, and take your old car note (let’s says it $450mth) plus your $500 positive cash each month and add all $950 each month to pay against the balance on the card5th) in 45days start checking your CreditKarma app (its free) and don’t worry about the 5% if it’s larger than your car loan % because once you’ve paid your car off your score will go up and in a couple months of $950 your car will be paid OFF not in 2more years or so...Thus saving you probably more than $2,000 in interest on the car loan (so you get to keep $$) and time in payments.Your saving money on interest (keeping it in your pocket thus making your pocket bigger!

I would suggest that you get a full time w-2 Job and do real estate on the side.

We will rent it out full time once we move.

It is my understanding you need to have the full required points.

It will take talking to a lot of community banks if you don't have additional funds to showcase liquidity reserves and a higher net worth, as the loan will be full recourse.Partner up - combine your equity with a couple other investors to have 30% equity ready for that $1 Million property. - Tim

I'm currently an Engineer by trade, working 3 nights per week, so I will use my days to work as an REA until I make the full transition. 

I currently have two cash flowing properties in Charlotte and I am currently looking for a third property.Like many of you my goal is financial freedom but it has been a slow process since I still work full time.I am looking to do a refi on one property so that I can purchase the third property.
