I think buyers recognized the value of design, but it was just not typically available to them.

I didn't realize banks offered such products, but it's worth a call to understand what options are available.

Farmington Bank used to offer such a product; however, it is no longer available once they were acquired by People's United Bank.I am open to going under FNMA standards; however, if you do not have a loan package I would be eligible for, can i ask whether your institution makes portfolio loans to real estate investors?

I would love to gain as much hands on knowledge as possible but it doesn't seem like there are many opportunities available near me (North Jersey/NYC area). 

Or maybe less profit with property investments and a property manager.Does she have other emergency or savings money available? 

I nerded out on the tools that were available to me.

PM me your info and availability.

My strategy will be to use the BRRRR method (unique, I know) to invest in SFR and MFR (when available) for positive cash flow and to use a full-service team (agent, contractor, PM).

@Tim Johnson I was looking at some auctions which would require the money to be available faster.

I would be happy to talk with you and share my thoughts on the PHX market and the opportunities available.
