@Ryan Tylergo to all the local REIA meetings and talk to the local investorsmake some friendsalso house hackgood luck

I want to know what kind of loan I should go for assuming everything is check out.

So you had a lot developer who then had a cadre of builders that would buy and build the homes. the local banks would not go out very far on spec loans in those days maybe 3 or 4 at a time..

I may also need to take out a small loan/line of credit to complete the house, depending on how far my money stretches. 

There are very good books on flipping houses, you can order them here on BP.

HelloWe travelled to tarpon springs with my wife in March and really loved the area and the parks/beaches there.We are thinking about buying a vacation house/ investment property there.

Right now DSCR loans are an option along with your 10 loans for fannie freddie.

Lets say someone buys an apartment complex for 6 ml for cash.How much should they add for the closing costs if no loan needed?
