This is on a basic mortgage not any 203k or fixer upper program, actually a piggyback mortgage(80-10-10). 

At all times your actual payment remains the same.4.

She the judgment was actually to her advantage to prevent nasty surprises in the future.

I have one house where it's actually more practical to do the laundry on-site (no good local access to send out the laundry) but even then multiple sets of linens mean the house can be done with everything while waiting for the last load to dry.  

(Side Note: if you really want to jump your credit score in a few months (because it takes time for the reporting to update), and if your disciplined with your spending try this;1st) I went and did the math to see what my positive cash flow each month off my active income (let’s say you’ve got $500 left over after you go through your monthly spending avg. which is all you kick out vs what you bring in)2nd) Go get a credit card with 0% interest for 12mths with NO higher than 5% transfer fee.( their are some with low as a 0% transfer and I had got that one on my 2nd round cause my credit wouldn’t let me at first)3rd) do a transfer balance after 24- 48hrs of opening the card (Nope you don’t need wait to actually get the card just call in and tell them over the phone to send a Blanche transfer check to your bank account in the amount of your car Balance; because you’ve only got a 30day window of transfer with 0% interest for the 12mths)4th) PAY YOUR CAR OFF IN FULL, and take your old car note (let’s says it $450mth) plus your $500 positive cash each month and add all $950 each month to pay against the balance on the card5th) in 45days start checking your CreditKarma app (its free) and don’t worry about the 5% if it’s larger than your car loan % because once you’ve paid your car off your score will go up and in a couple months of $950 your car will be paid OFF not in 2more years or so...Thus saving you probably more than $2,000 in interest on the car loan (so you get to keep $$) and time in payments.Your saving money on interest (keeping it in your pocket thus making your pocket bigger!

Starting is usually the hardest part so I’m just wondering where do I actually start?

I stumbled upon this site brainstorming an idea I want to make a reality and thought this would be a good place to look for suggestions/advice.

Mind you, I haven't actually talked to any loan officers, so I suppose it could be worth a shot just to see.Still, I'm looking for other ways to get hands-on experience with real estate in the meantime.

I don't think this is a good practice because you actually don't know these numbers.

Your taxes are not correct .. restructure this deal and this may actually Pan out to be a good deal if you could buy it with all  cash and not put 30 grand into it or hope to brrr it .
