@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

Buy a property as soon as you can.

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

Value is being added to this deal by fully gutting the property, on top of that adding a full 3rd story addition with master suite.

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

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.

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.

First time trying to buy a rental (single family, duplex, triplex, quad) in Florida.
