I am extremely new to real estate investing and would like some help.

@James DeRoest That is an extremely good point.

It completely changes how the underwriting of the loan is done which is why it's the most critical question to ask.As an example, if you go to Bank of America or you go to Chase Bank (they both sell loans to Fannie/Freddie) then the underwriting standards will be extremely similar (call it identical for most intents and purposes).

Honestly i'm surprised its not even higher.

Our weather hits all the extremes, I think most good quality people expect cent/heat & air.  

If I'm going to start investing with financing rather than just wholesaling for a fee, I'd like to be extremely confident in the numbers... but with this kind of feedback from seasoned professionals, it's got me a little nervous, to be honest.Thanks in advance,Justin

Throughout my short 7 year career, I have always been extremely interested in real estate investing, mostly house flipping.

To be honest, I hope I never even see the property, just provide a good, safe living situation for the tenants and collect some solid cash flow each month.All that being said, anyone have any tips for out of state investors?

There's a class action against the lender and they won the settlement, but the BK is there.. tenant screen came back as declined, since I think BK within the past 10 years is an auto decline.They are honest with me from the start, which is a plus but I'm having a hardtime explaining to my spouse about this.

I have found the Fortune Builders Mastery program to be extremely beneficial.
