Otherwise, without a strategy or plan, you will be wasting your time and money.   

I'm planning on participating in my first auction next month and I'd like to talk through it with someone who has a bit of experience already. 

That’s exactly my plan.

they couldn't care less that you misread the comps - you'll have to cover whatever the difference is with your own cash.

Is Green Bay planning anything similar?

It’s all good and well to advise you to do a fix and flip but if you’re not handy yourself or haven’t started building your team yet then you have some basic planning to do first.

I have about $50k in liquid cash and again, plan to leverage my VA loan and I have my full entitlement for it. 

I have plans to upgrade the interior as I’ve heard about the “live and flip” concept from a bigger pockets podcast episode about getting started in real estate.

This will be a bit of a long post but if you care to read through it thank you in advance!

I also plan on developing an ADU to permit 2 + beds 1 bath unit and community improvements such as installing solar panels, specified parking areas, common areas, a community garden (for tenants only), and rehabbing each unit to force appreciation.
