Introduction and a Question
Hi, I'm a new member from CT interested in buying my first 3 or 4 unit property. In addition to introductions I have a question. I currently rent my parents house for next to nothing, and will continue to have this as an available option for a few more years. Living here is great for my financially, and it also gives my parents peace of mind knowing the house is being looked after. Is an FHA such a great deal that it is worth giving up this living situation immediately and becoming a live in landlord? Or should I just try to fund my dreams a different way and say goodbye to an FHA loan?
Thanks for any comments
Brandon
