If you're painting a rental buy the cheap stuff and make sure it's semi-gloss.

The sooner you can buy and the more you can buy the better off you are 

For 1031 exchange, let's say you buy a replacement property that appraises for much more than the purchase price.

. - First and foremost, and not unique to Indy, obviously interest rates have been the main character in the story for anyone looking to buy.

@Ryan BiankowskiIn my opinion, if you have no experience flipping houses, no experience dealing with contractors and this is your first deal, $10K is nothing.Sorry to burst your bubble.An unscrupulous contractor will burn through your $10K in one day..... literally and you may never see him again.Assuming you have no experience, I would advise you as a starting point to slow down, sit yourself down, and buy J Scott's books for $49.00........and save yourself $9,951.00.Make sure you read them through thoroughly at least once, if not twice before making your first move.There are other good books out there, maybe a good local mentor that you can learn the ropes from and even some good "guru's" that you can learn from despite all the guru bashing on BP but I would definitely start with J's books.Said books are:The Book on Flipping HousesThe Book on Estimating Rehab Costs

I have an investor looking to buy a new single family home or a duplex in the Toccoa, GA.

I'm in Orlando and see this so much, people with young families will buy a STR because they will be coming here 1-2 X a year for the next 10-15 years.

For example I work with CA investors that buy in Reno, Nevada because it's close to CA, low property taxes, and job growth.

Since a VA inspector would need to verify the condition and value of a home before the money is lent, does this mean there is no way to buy a foreclosure with VA loan financing?

I'm planning to buy a SFH in Huntsville in the next 2 months so I'm looking to understand more about the area.My goal is to buy in a B/C class neighborhood for a deal that is expected to be cash flow even.
