You also are required to put 25%-30% down and larger reserves are required and the building itself can cause issues if it has vacancy ratios.

I know it’s a little outside of the two areas you gave, but I’m in Syracuse NY and there is lots of opportunity for any type of investing if you happen to be looking out this way…BRRRR, buy and hold, fix and flip you name it.

Hi everyone, I'm writing this post because I want to get into house flipping but I don't know how to start.

So it was never an issue before; I just went forward once I got an approval.  

Everyone sold and most for retail money, so don't expect bargains or flipping profits. 

My issue is my credit took a hit during renovations and I had to evict someone that wasn't supposed to move in a property.

The way I see this is :1. not utilizing the calculator well enough (eg. undervaluing my rent estimation) 2. there is no good properties in the area to invest. 3. other issues that I may not see (blind spot). 

They certificate they issue does not mean anything.

The rest of the money I want to invest in a flip and/or buy and hold.

Learning to flip housesAny information or help is appreciated.
