I have a friend here in CA that has properties in Oregon, Washington, North Carolina, etc. and it is all working out pretty well for him.  

The government started assessing their property at ridiculous prices, like $1 million, and the owners didn't have any money to pay the taxes.It took me 30 minutes to drive 11 miles in the morning and 45 minutes to drive 11 miles after work.

I have been listening to this amazing guys in BP for almost a year so I decided to try asking the following question since I'm still struggling.I'm in North Dallas and currently renting.

The loan requirements are the same as a traditional FHA loan underwriting (owner occ, 3.5% down at 580 credit or better, Mortgage Insurance, etc) except you can use up to 75% of the rent roll to lower your DTI ratio, and you cannot have any existing FHA loans outstanding unless 100 miles away from subject property.The 203K loan has a lot of upside but is quite cumbersome to navigate.

I’m looking into getting a duplex within the next year in the north part of Boston, between Revere and Medford.

Some produce excellent cash flow north of double digit interest, others are more conservative and produce less.

Also I have done renovations that cost north of $100k, a brand new build off a foundation will most likely cost north of that unless you find some really cheap labor.

Unfortunately, it seems like there aren't many foreclosures in the area I'm looking, Boston and North shore.

A written offer in North Carolina takes a minimum of 14 pages of paperwork.

In 2024, there's a planned train line that will head north and south within' Hammond not too far from your property.
