I say finish your college, then jump into RE as much as you can while you work. 

My heart sank when the appraiser told me this after he had finished a walk through of my house.

I purchased a single family home (4 beds, 2.5 baths, with a finished basement) in Towson, MD.

This was my first experience buying a home so I learned the whole process from start to finish with buying a single family home and the loan process.

FAMILY ROOMS WITH NEW 100% WATER PROOF VINYL PLANK FLOORS FINISHED IN ASHEVILLE LUXURY PINE AND CHERRY WOOD.

I just finished reading "Raising Private Capital" by Matt Faircloth so I have a couple ideas. 

The property I bought in needs major rehab work and due to which I couldn’t do traditional financing and paid it off in cash.Now, I am looking to get a loan to do the rehab work which after finishing the work would convert into traditional loan.What would be the best place to get this kind of loans?

The main house has a finished basement that I am living in and so far so good as I'm paying approx $300/mo toward piti.

They have great programs, but a lot of hoops to jump through.Have you finished the process asking your local credit union (who you presumably already have a relationship with)?

VA loan with NO DP, but picked some upgraded finishes and appliances from the builder.
