We also had a tenant plant two apple trees in the spot where the water and sewer lines enter the property.

Hi my name is jeremySo recently ive stumbled across bigger pockets and am trying to learn how to get started in the real estate investing world Its always been a passion and dream to do this even as a kid but i didnt think it was possible without large amounts of capital i see now that there are other ways tho i am not fully aware and understanding themSo let me start with an introduction hi im jeremy, im a plumbers apprentice and actively saving , currently i live at home after moving back when the whole rent and live with roommates thing didnt work and i felt like i was not getting anywhere paying rent vs paying payments on a loan , ive got a few thousand right now and am in a odd spot as i dont know if i should stop putting money away for a loan payment and buy a car ( i lost mine due to black ice and insurance didnt cover) i dont necessarily need it to work but i think it will be needed to look at potential properties when im getting ready to pull that triggerAnyways my plan when i first started my job was to just get fully licensed in plumbing and once i have it i would be knowledgeable enough to do most if not all plumbing repairs in any property thinking it would be saving me thousands of dollars when/if i needed to do any type of repair to the unit or its water/heating systems vs paying for it, granted as i get more and more property ill doubt ill still be interested in doing it but i figured its a good stable job to start with and i could always fall back on if needed.

Wanted to make an offer on the spot.

Washington is a big area and there are some great spots that command best rent and some iffy spots that are not so good.Also how confident are you in your $25K rehab number?

I don't do CASH payment for anyone,, If I have to do that,  I go to bank withdraw enough cash to cover the amount, I write a check to labor contractor and have him endorse the check and hand it back to me, I give him the cash right then back on the spot,,, this is for the type of guy I might hire just for day labor... type work.

This can include parking spot rental and income from included washers and dryers. 

Here are a few details:Property value: 91,000 (assessed, not appraisedCurrent loan pay off: 60,000Years remaining on note: 15Current interest rate: 8.5%Current loan payments :$650/monthCurrent credit score: ~650 (probably my biggest issue)There are a couple of options that I'm looking into. 1.) refinance the home for $15,000 above payoff and use the cash as investment capital in a deal (probably my least favorite option)2.) refinance the home for the current payoff at a lower interest rate (same 15 years) so that I could save the difference in the mortgage and invest that.

That said it may be in a sweet spot for cash flow due to these challenges.Your interest payment will be 1200/month at the beginning of your loan. 

I have to done VA loan bu they are not my favorite.

It is most likely going to be a second home, but is located in a spot that will work well for a local as well.
