Finally, I became a member for $10 of a service that gives me a good discount on tenant screenings, because I am a repeat customer.

Instead of talking to customer service at your bank, you need to talk to loss mitigation.

I see that you are just starting off so my advice to you is "Just go out and buy a property" and it is like clock work from there.This is how I started.I did everything that you did and it was a complete "waste of time'.So instead of "looking for customers" I "Became one" this is the best start if you want a deal you have to go out and find the worst looking house that you can find location does not matter either.You may have some rehab cost but consider this "The cost of doing business" after you have completed the work post an add in your local paper that just simply says "Newly renovated house will work with any buyer" and just sit back and watch the vultures come.Where you went wrong is that you did not think aout "who" your customer is it is called your "Target Market" and starting off it is other "Investors" .The "WE BUY HOUSES" market is "flooded" and you dont have the resources to compete first time out.So follow this and you should be good.GET THAT MONEY MAN!

What I ended up doing was becoming basically self employed in the rehab business to feed me with something a little nicer than beans and to pay little luxuries like utility bills.

Of course, the $850 quoted could just as easily INCLUDE a total amount WITH the utilities figured in (even if the tenant pays them separately).

Thats good to hear Flipper, I work hard to make most of my customers happy, KM is definitly getting hit hard like the other paint stores and contractors, some good guys I know getting hurt right now, went through it myself sometime back.

Figure 250-350 for custom sizes.

You would need an additional $10K or so of your own cash to cover the excess of the rehab over the loan amount ($3K), the points (about $4.5K), and your holding costs (taxes, insurance, utilities, etc.
