I just transitioned from wholesaling to rehabbing and am on my first rehab project.Competition in my area is pretty fierce, so the true wholesale deals are getting more challenging to find, so when I came across my current deal, I realized the price I had to go in at would realistically be the price I should be selling it to a "cash" buyer.I did the only thing that made sense to me, found some money guys to partner with, and threw caution into the wind, and now I'm doing my first rehab project, I was always told, "you learn by doing".As a wholesaler at heart, I am and will continue to try and sell this property at each and every stage of the remodel, raising the price with each new update/upgrade.

I upgrade trouble areas and run a pretty lean operation by doing a lot of the work myself at this point.

Rather you're wanting the lighting to be upgraded.

I am former military, I qualify for a VA backed loan, which from all my reading and research, would be my cheapest route in terms of purchasing a house, while allowing for the least Downpayment required ( 2.25% Funding Fee ).The thing is, I want to buy a property on the front end as an Investor " Investment Property ", instaed of an Owner Occupant, so that I can get in there and do a few upgrades, new flooring, new paint and get it on the market and rented as soon as possible.

I own a home since '09 that is underwater (stand to lose 18K or so incl. commissions paid, closing, etc).We want to upgrade to a larger home and planned on putting 20% down.

I'm leaning VA loan, if I can get into a house for virually nothing down ( Funding fee ) and no PMI and then paying for any upgrades/Rehab out of my own pocket.

i replaced the electric service and upgraded the kitchen.

Last year upgraded to a 6 unit but a more affluent area.

The area is decent and the house was in move in condition even thought I put about $6000 in upgrades.

Could you tell that to them on the phone when a buyer calls "you've got to see the upgrades in this house" or put emphasis on the upgrades in your ad descriptions?
