@Arturo Limon , I'm new to SD and looking for deals to buy, ideally a 2-4 unit I can renovate.  

Ideally, I'd love to flip or cash out refinance if I could find a partner with the capital.

This would be ideal in giving you the time to renovate and resell home. 

Hi there,My partner and I bought a house with the intention of updating it and reselling. Our biggest issue is there's a second floor with one small room (with a window) and two unused spaces on either side of that ro...

Ideally, you would have someone waiting to move in and not have to do anything.

Hello all,Along with my short term goals, I have the goal of getting started with rental properties here in Chicago and was hoping some who have gone through this could provide some insight.My goal is to use a FHA 203k loan and ideally I would also love to use the welcome home IL $5000 down payment assistance for first time home buyers if anyone knows a lender who will do a 203k with the D.P.A. that would be incredible.I recently contacted a lender who to avoid naming names sounds similar to bells bargo and was left with more questions and hesitations.The questions I presented to them were:1) Is my down payment calculated off of the purchase price plus repairs or just the purchase price?

Ideally, your next investment would be positive cash-flow.  

I ran into a similar situation, and chose to keep the property even though it wasn't ideal, as a way to expand my portfolio without having to shell out any more money.

Ideally, I want to house hack a multi-family home in the Fort Lauderdale / Dania / Hollywood Beach area. 

You will never know, if you never have the conversation.While it doesn't sound like the ideal situation, you can save yourself a lot of time, money & potential grief dealing with the tenant turnover process by keeping a great tenant in your rental.
