Welcome to BP nation

Huntington National BankI am waiting to hear back from the bank. 

That being said, many lenders might shy away from smaller loans (I know some national lenders such as B2R have a minimum of $50,000).

I kept it vague and hopefully through private chat because there seems to be numerous people and companies involved/interested in the property; and just by chance one of them is apart of the bigger pockets nation, I wanted to keep the specifics off the main forum.  

I am a former USAF guy (with some amrny national guard sprinkled in as well) and we do buy and hold up in South bend but have also bought houses an hour south and have looked as far south as Peru so have a small bit of experience close to your duplex. 

There may be some national trends, but it is always local. 

There are some exceptions where the location has been on a multi decade slide and now starting to appreciate like in certain downtown locations across the nation.

Get this, a newbie dealing with a first property in National Historic District.  

Former Marine Corps Non-Commisioned Officer and Army National Guardsman with over 5 years of proven leadership experience.

In your experience, what else could be beneficial that I would want to highlight?
