Purchase price: $69,000 Cash invested: $18,000 Intended as my first flip, but was limited in my selling price by FHA for a 3 month period, so after we completed the rehab in 2 weeks, I put a for rent sign in the yard to see what happened.

Challenges are expected, but you'll master your investment strategies in a short period of time.

@Steve Maye, There's no statutory holding period. 

With that in mind, I would probably pay the extra half point to get a longer payoff period, but that’s up to you and your goals.

I know deals are out here in this market, it seems like consistency for a long period of time is what's necessary, like anything in life right?

Would you sign a contract to guarantee to work with a Private Lender for a specific period of time.

If they weren't prohibiting conventional loans they may be trying to steer a purchase to a homeowner especially if they have a stated period where only loans from homeowners will be accepted.

@Greg Morris mentioned a good point that you may want to try contesting your taxes, you only have a certain period of time to do.

If it works for you, you may want to put in a shorter (7-10 day) inspection period to see if that helps. 

She worried it will miss the time for the 30 days period until the end of March 31th.
