We have supported as lender when folks purchased for $17,000 and sold for $30,000 same day.The flipping, land lording might need some cash of your own; even though you can get lender involved for portion of it.There are other tweaks and variations on real estate; which you can explore as well.See what works best for your situation and change as you grow.

My end game plan atm involves setting up shop in Florida in some form so perhaps we will run into each other in the future.
