a general rule of thumb for the ideal kitchen flow is a TRIANGLE anchored by the Fridge, Stove, Sink.

A water leak can in or under a house can produce conditions ideal for their growth.

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.

Not ideal but it was a great 1st project.

Being in banking myself, I know most banks I deal with are not interested in lending to real estate investors at this time. 

They show me (pictures, video, description, taxes) one wholesaler I deal with is a home inspector and provides me with a full property report as well.  

We will be residing in the Davenport, fl area, and would ideally like our project to stay within an hour in any directions of there, if possible?  

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?

Either first or 2nd position as long as there is enough equity to accomodate it; Ideally you'd want it to be a cashflowing property so there is sufficient cashflow to make the note payments so it's not coming out of your pocket.
