I am interested in rehabing real estate and would like to build a solid portfolio.

Make sure your ducks are in a row and you have a solid plan that allows you to move in within 60 days of purchase, while fulfilling your obligations to the first purchase requirements of 1 year of residency.

Solid points, I'd point out the following.1.  

I would love to get some solid advice and answers on Buying HOA Liens. 

Perhaps the buyers will change their minds, perhaps they won't feel you gave them exactly what they wanted, perhaps the market will drop, and if you've done renovations that aren't marketable to a wide segment of buyers, you may have to do a new renovation to resell.If you do move forward as the "builder," I highly recommend you work with a knowledgeable attorney to get a rock-solid contract, get a big deposit, and make sure the numbers work in your favor at all points in the process.

Read somewhere that SFH in solid blue collar neighborhoods is a safe strategy.

I took advantage of the pro membership and have been able to get some solid leads from posting in the marketplace on a few occasions! 

Prior to this I worked in the construction industry with experience in: roofing, siding, framing, tile, wood flooring, asphalt repair, cement work, & granite counter tops.

Those forms are so awesome and seem to be rock solid.  

I guess everybody else had wood doors.
