Question I need investment advice

I am thinking about doing a 2 property deal tomorrow and would like to hear what you think about it. The properties are in extremely desirable areas of the Phoenix metro area(3,000 sqft. in Chandler & 1700 sqft. in Gilbert). Chandler property is a sale price of $515,000 and the Gilbert property is a sale price of $360,000. I will get a total of $65,000 back at the close of both properties. I will live in one and rent the other out. I plan to use the money to do a couple of rehab projects. I can borrow from hard money and use my 65,000 to do the repairs. These type of projects are hard to find but still can make $10,000- $15,000 profit off of each. Also I want to invest in some pre-construction projects but will have to make some quick cash first to pay my 2 huge mortgages. My problem is I am scared to do this deal. What if it goes wrong? I have never even owned a home before. I am young and have never invested money in anything. I make decent money but not enough to cover this mortgage for to long if my plan does not work out. I do know a good deal about real estate, I am a mortgage broker with a background in construction. I think this will all work out but like I said I am afraid to think what will happen if it don't. Please give me any words of wisdom you may have.
Thanks from th bottom of my heart.

Well, I'd suggest that you move to Phoenix, from Virginia, first (as you plan to live in one) and then in if you're gonna drop a load on the investment that you forget the property in Rio for awhile.

how are you going to receive $65k? in most cases receiving cash at closing as a buyer isn't going to fly.

Magic!... jk. I took a chunk of what they posted here and searched it in quotations. If you search in quotations, it looks for the exact text. Good for detecting duplicate content and spammy mcspammersons.
