Would it be a good idea if I would to purchase a Home under a conventional loan and seek out a private money lender to help fund the Rehab cost ?? Has anybody else used this strategy ? Or is there a better strategy for somebody wanting to get into the fix-n-flip business ?

@Jon Klaus thank you Jon for this reply it was a real confidence booster for me in investing in the outer cities !

Anybody investing in Greenville TX ? Been hearing a long of “growing” opportunity in Greenville, wanted to get some of yalls opinion on the matter. How much growth can we expect ? And how soon will this happen ? I’ve been looking at properties out there and I’ve seen really great prices, just a little concerned about the area.

I am getting ready to purchase my first property, If I picked out a property that would need some work done, Would applying for a bank line of credit be helpful? If I don't have that type of cash on hand. Or should I look towards Hard money lenders ? What would be the pros and cons of these strategies ? What were some things you guys have ran into with using these two types of funding ? Any tips and info will be greatly appreciated ! 

This might be a rookie question but I never had anyone clarify it for me, Is Zillow accurate ? Will it show the correct value of a property AND the surrounding properties ? I have a realtor and he sends me properties on the MLS. But on my own time I like to search for homes on my own, how much can I rely on Zillow ?

@Greg Scott thank you ! Im going to go look at the property today, it went up on MLS yesterday and supposedly already has other appointments from other people to go see it. I'll make sure to see if theres any major damages.

Hey you guys I'm in the Dallas Tx area and My realtor sent me a property valued at 90K on MLS, I checked for the surrounding area and all the properties around a valued at 140k+ , the house will need definite remodel inside to make it more appealing for a potential rental or even a flip. I want to know if this is a good sign for profit ? What other quick info can I gather to see where this property sits ?

Hey you guys Im a 21 Year old living in Dallas Tx, and for the longest I have been extremely interested in real estate investing. I have about $10,000 saved up in cash and I dont know if I should start looking for homes or continue to read and listen to podcast for more knowledge. Any tips for a starting future investor ? When will it be the right time to start ? Or should I save some more money ?
