Maybe you can be the deal-finder/house-hacker and they can be the money/qualification side. 

Louis to PA 2 years ago, we decided to keep our STL house as a rental property, and I was told about this site recently as I work on finding a new tenant. 

Purchase price: $198,000 Cash invested: $70,000 Sale price: $340,000Full rehab of the 2 bed, 1 bath house including a new kitchen, bath, refinishing the hardwood floors and other updates.

There were some code violations from a car hitting the house and other neglected maintenance that we inherited when we bought the property, although the bank paid off the fees up to the date of sale.

Joining the exciting journey of house flipping, I find myself both newish to this world and incredibly eager to dive in.

Question: their current house they want to get ready to rent out.

I need some advice to push toward my goal of buying 4 houses in 4 years as long-term rental properties.

If you are looking for cashflow opportunities + add more value, houses in the South are the area you should focus.

Nevada is a landlord friendly state, 4th lowest property taxes, no state income tax, limited housing supply with tech and manufacturing jobs moving to the area from CA.

Upon going through the house to get rid of old junk, I went through some old papers that were left behind, of which were addressed to a name I didn't recognize.
