One of the first things you will want to do is to talk to a lender about getting pre-qualified. 

Managing rentals isn't easy, lots of different skills to be good at all at the same time! 

I have qualified for a loan of 150,000. which I can work with, the only problem I am coming up with is the 20% down.

Or in my case, all of 35 than half of 70.In my experience, sophisticated partnerships that do not bring complementary skills to the deal turn into a mess.

Providing you've a good team around you (knowledgeable/reliable/fair Contractor/s and Property Manager/s) and your analysis skills are bada bing, bada boom, then even the "Headache and Uncalculated rehab cost" won't ensue.

Skilled negotiator with high aptitude for developing and executing programs leading to sweeping change.

We come from a background with a whole host of skill sets and would like to build a relationship with other investors.Looking forward to speaking you. 

My husband and I have been renting what was formerly our primary residence for  nearly two and a half years and need to sell by the end of August to qualify for the capital gains tax break to fulfill the requirement that we had lived in the property two of the past five years.  

Gaining a market sense AND people skills are a whole other matter.

My goals and personal skills point me towards the buy and flip and or hold side of things.
