@Benjamin Mann

If I could go back and do it again, I would have bought a 2-4u and moved into a unit instead of buying a home. Then I would have stayed for a year or so and done it again and again until I had a solid cashflow built up large enough to pay all of my monthly expenses including that house I wanted.
