Sorry, this REIA was active for a while, but I moved out of state years ago. 

i think the concerns of the people around you tend to be valid - and so your job isn't to 'convince' them, it's to come at investing (or whatever) from a place of financial strength.my first rental was my former primary residence - i kept it as a rental when i moved out of it. 

If the area is good for that, close to hospitals, universities etc. it might work.Otherwise do the LTR in those and move on.

As of right now I know I need to add an attorney and contractor to my team to move forward.I have intentions of using a private lender and am looking for advice/guidance from anyone that has done a flip by doing so.

SEC 8 then puts their voucher on hold, so they can’t move unless we approve it (or are found to have an unfit property, which would violate our contract with HUD).  

I am military and one of my favorite methods is targeting fellow military members and buying the homes subject to the existing loan since many members move every 2-3 years and often don't have sufficient equity built up to really make selling the traditional way and paying agent fees worth it especially if they bought using a 0 down VA loan which is very common. 

After having plans and all construction documents done, we decided to move to a different area.

I really want this duplex from a family member but the first floor needs the rehab and 2nd floor is ready to move in.

If people are looking to move there full time for a new job, I'm assuming STR is out and people would need a MTR while they're trying to find their forever home or a LTR if they weren't looking to buy.

Context- Where im looking properties that are good deals move fast.
