@Mike Kelley thanks so much! Youre awesome!

I've been a handyman for quite some time, but I never understood the concept of Permits from a home owners perspective. If I'm the home owner and live there, do I need a permit to fix a kitchen or finish a basement? I remember speaking to a home owner who was selling a house and had to reduce the selling price because of a garage that wasnt on the blueprint of the house. Can anybody give me some insight on this?

 Id love to know if this rent reduction idea works. Keep me updated

What kind of questions should I ask my Loan Officer? Im going to speak to my Loan Officer soon to get pre-qualified for a mortgage loan. 

Thank you all so much for responding. I knew there would be a grant support from the BP community! Thanks for reminding me of how awesome REI can be and that there are ppl who wamt to see you succeed :)

Why is it that every person I speak to that is in the REI industry is very supportive and tells me now is a great time to invest, while everyone I know personally and isnt in the industry tells me now is a bad time and are very pessimistic? Did anybody get this starting out?

Since I'm new to the business, i'd like to know what's considered a jerk move when dealing with Real Estate Agents. Is it ok to work with several agents on finding an investment property? How low can I go from the asking price? Any advice and tips will help

@Kenneth B. that was the exact kind of information I was looking for! Thank you!

@Micah Copeland i have that habit, of overthinking things haha. Thanks for the information

 Its going to be financed. So then the Loan would also pay for closing costs?
