Yes absolutely get really good at analyzing properties and identifying what is a deal and what is not.

HI all,I am seeking the typical process involved with financing rehabs using a hard money lender, after identifying a property.

Some Funds haven't found assets yet while others may have identified them already.

I am thinking of the RTP area, and perhaps Asheville.I see that most of the advice on not purchasing SFR's for LTR right now have to do with interest rates, and am wondering what advice you would give someone who isn't going to need financing.I'm hoping for some steady monthly income with an emphasis on long-term appreciation.I will have around 1.2M to reinvest, and as you all know, I have to identify in the 45 day window. 

That said, if you can come up with the 20-25% without selling - and you can lean on your income there (last 2 tax returns) right now while you are identifying and purchasing the property, then you can qualify for a loan to purchase a second/vacation home (as they did).
