@Amalfi Duran You should read David Greene's book on Long Distance Real Estate Investing.

Thanks A Bunch - Green Newbie

The real estate agent will put you with a great contractor that they trust and that is how you build the core for that David Greene speaks about. 

Non-QM lenders are asset based while Conventional lenders are credit based.Non-QM lenders focused solely on the following criteria when green lighting your deal:1-The ability of the property to cash-flow in terms of covering its underlining debt; or its ability ti appraise with ARV that covers the debt if you are flipping.2-The credit of the borrower (660 or higher, preferably above 700)3- Your liquidity (do you have 3-6 months of liquid assets) after you close on the property.That's it!!

@Melissa Gittens I haven’t purchased any turnkey properties, but @David Greene wrote a really good blog post about this recently, in my opinion.

.- No matter how much energy you put into it, all your assumptions about rent, expenses, and cash flow are just guesses and probably not great ones in the end on your first property.- If you forget the classic "location, location, location" and go just for cash flow, you risk losing out on enormous upside. - If you speculate and just go for upside, your property can and will bleed you and force you to continually commit capital to it. - 90% of single-family rentals are owned by people just like you - with 10 or fewer properties.

If it's that big of a concern for you.Quit wasting hope and energy that the PM will help you after you terminated their services. 

It's very similar to what @David Greene talked about at the end of today's BP podcast (#344).  

So to start off very green when it comes to flipping a house.

Hey @Michael Dorey, Have you heard of Green Burials?
