Hello,

My name is Ashley I'm 22 years old and I live in the Charleston area looking to start investing in buy and hold properties! I'm looking for multi family homes bc I plan to stay in one of the units for a year to satisfy the loan requirement(FHA LOAN). I applied for 2 loans so far and got approved for 120,000 which is pretty tight in my area. I'm afraid with the low amount that I have been approved for will drive me in to a not so good neighborhood due to prices in good ones seem to be running over 150 k. Any advice will be greatly appreciated
