Hello everyone, Hoping to close on my first deal this week *fingers crossed*. It is a 2 unit multi family in which I will live in one unit. The process has been full of complications but it looks like it will happen by Friday!! Thus, I was wondering what should be some of the first few things I do once I own the house? Anyone have a checklist of things that should be done? Thanks E.B.

Hello everyone and Happy 4th!!!

I am in the process of buying my first property and have an upcoming inspection on Thursday. I was wondering what should I keep an eye out for, or what I should ask about during the process.

Thanks everyone!

Hello everyone,

So I am aware that you have to owner occupy for a year for the FHA loan, but I was wondering if there are any ways around that requirement? Is it possible to occupy for less time than that?

Thanks in advance!

I'm in MA and the prices here are high. Thus, I wanted to explore other option and other areas in the States that may require less money down on a property. I'll definitely do more research on the market and try to make connections before investing in anything outside of MA. Any other advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks everyone.

Hello everyone, Has anyone invested out of state and into Cleveland? Or if anyone has any insight on investing into Cleveland, that would be helpful. Thanks E.B.
