Focused on SFR or Multifamily fixer upper only.

There are sex offenders in every housing market big and small, lower class to upper class.

I don't have any real rehab skills myself, I am an able bodied guy, and can learn, but I have no real skills at this time.Come December (after the holidays) I am looking for the quickest way possible to put 5k in my hands to breath for 2 months, followed by 10k, 20k, and then focus on regular passive income and continual flips.

To maximize the return, get a fixer upper fourplex and renovate the unit you live in, moving around and raising rents as you complete the renovations.Once all units are renovated, the property should cash flow if you rented all units.

(x/1.5)*100= A rough upper limit of what I would want to have in that property (purchase price, closing costs, repairs, etc).2) There is a difference between a home that was built in the 1960's as compared to the 1930's.  

The high was on the beach a few lost a year ago a few were going for 100k to 150K  and the mid high looked at a few fixer uppers in there historic district in wilmington I think on market street saw some ok deals.

@Michele Fischer thanks for the words of encouragement@Joe Fairless  thanks for giving me the Ms.Kurtz contact@Jen Kurtz Bill Gulley said to find a fixer upper near the campus an rent out the home at a cheaper rate than my competitors an my other option is to try an get a property near the campus with owner financing.

I second what Jon said.Your friend at the bank is most likely just a bank employee, along with a few hundred other ones.He probably couldn't tell you anything pertinent that would give you an upper-hand.

A five year hold period is relatively short, but if you do your research and buy a fixer-upper at below market now, you should be well-positioned when it comes time to sell.  

You think I'm going to just hand a big cleaver to some random middle/upper-middle class hapless student who's been "kind of thinking about" real estate for the past 4 years so they can chop down my poverty level 3-month long journey into this?
