I can buy a piece of property and my spouse should be able to do the same regardless if we are married was my understanding. 1) I want to buy an investment property with my va loan (yes I know I have to occupy the property for up to 6 months to a year) 2) She wants to buy a house with hersI went through my same mortgage company where I bought my previous property and he said it would be hard to explain that to the lenders since you guys aren’t getting divorced or separated... so I’m just a little confused as to why that would matter if we both are entitled to a va loan separately?

Hi all, I've been in the real estate investing/flipping world throughout New England now for 3 years but have just done things locally through hard money lending and private investors.

I Used 290k as ARV in my analysis bought with Hard money lender. 

Hey all,I want to share with you a problem I encountered and a solution I came up with.I am using the MLS as one of the sources of my deals searching.While the MLS is great, it doesn't offer me as an investor any filtering options, or actually any other 'advanced' option rather than viewing the listings.So, in the past few weeks I've been working hard on a solution for my problem and I am happy to share that I have a first working test version! 

Otherwise, you'd have to go portfolio lender (maybe they do 20%) or hard money, which would be much higher. if you don't have even $20k saved, sounds like you are far off yet.

Yes, paying retail and/or not adding value is the hard way to make a profit in real estate in many markets.

if they are comparable to MF 1-2,000 sq ft, that is a hassle and hard to keep occupied.

I'm an investor and private/hard money lending consultant in the Evansville area.

More importantly, the finances are very hard to make work.
