I know it is mostly up to the individual wholesaler but what do sellers prefer and what does the end buyer, the investor/flipper, like to see?

There are some amazing opportunities with the VA loan that are fantastic investment choices.

My choices are limited to a few locations and I will move within the year.

The way I see things, you and I have two choices.

Because Philly would be my number one choice if it was more affordable...

@Srini Ramkumar The turnkey team you work with can be even more important than the market choice. 

I prefer dirt myself.,  Though we have some rentals.

Be sure to talk to them about 3% down conventional loans, because FHA loans are notoriously difficult, and sellers will prefer a conventional over an FHA, because the FHA appraisal requires the seller to fix little things like peeling paint, broken window panes, loose handrails, etc. while conventionals typically do not.Some borrowers are approved for a higher loan amount through FHA than conventional, but I believe the MIP is generally higher.Also, this is something your agent should be helping you with.

I’d prefer not to be in the C-D type neighborhoods right out of the gate.

With regards to rental or flips, which do you prefer to use?
