@Dan Schwartz Thanks for your point of view I agree concerns are valid imagine investing in a new investor.

Of course, you need to find a great deal off market, do the small rehab, then sell at a discounted price to a retail buyer that's getting a typical loan (FHA, conventional, etc.).I don't consider what you're describing; putting lipstick on a pig for a retail buyer, as wholetailing.

You may be using an old paradigm to view todays market.

And also, what are key questions to ask the property agent when viewing?

I asked my agent to contact them ASAP to allow us access to view the place on 9/4 but denied until 9/5. 

Jurisdictions more apt to levy penalties/ fines because they view it as out of state owner since borrower not on title - so any violations are sent to you since you home title.Regarding collateral1.

I'm brand new to this and would love to connect to a professional in the area.. looking to grab 15-20 minutes of someone's time, mostly so I can ask questions and get advice.. just to make sure my assumptions and view of things are correct so far.

I recently viewed a property with an alleyway that only adjoins three houses.

You can view them with mistrust and let that be your demeanor.
