If it's a 30 year fixed loan you might consider renting it.

Although this is not my career path, I have always loved the idea of designing homes or fixing them up and have been wanting to add real estate to my investment portfolio!

Just had my termite inspection yesterday here in South Jersey on a fix n flip I have under contract and it shows extensive damage in crawl space to almost every floor joist, sill, etc.

My goal here is to create a golden thread that a beginner can follow to get to a solid rental investment that puts cashflow in the pocket and with an added element of a little fixing up, the potential to complete cash out and do again with the same money every six months.

The first one we bought was 3 miles away and costs us $132k (it would now sell for $160k) w put 20% down and spent $3-5k to fix it up.2. funding?

I will be located in Florida for about 1 year before having to relocate to Texas for advanced fixed wing training. 

They should be receiving social security, disability, military pension... fixed incomes. 

Looking for 2-3 more contractors to join the team to go give bids and fix what was bid on in Akron Ohio.

My last offer for $85k was rejected, the property is in a generally good state, might need a new roof in a few years with approximately $5k in immediate repairs.After fixing the rent on the property will be at $1,200.

Or are you looking to do your own Fix and Flip?
