It's a lot of cash investment in rehab and this will be my first investment only property.

You can get some great cash flowing duplexes for that price range in Dayton, Ohio. 

You find out up front if they have any cash or not, vs burning 30-45 days to find it appraises at your listing price, and they don't have the cash to close.Get a VA checklist from one of your trusted lenders and make sure everything in the house meets the checklist. 

I provide private lending for Fix/Flip and BRRR projects.Outside of real estate, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my wife, twin boys and golden retriever.Excited to learn and connect with you all!
