@Engelo Rumora & @William Robison Thank you for the warm welcomes and the invite for the local BP Meetup! If I'm still in KC next month I will definitely attempt to be there, barring the day job doesn't get in the way...waiting to see if I get a job transfer to the Atlanta area.

I will let y'all know either way!

Thanks

No, @Ed Wood they are at different locations, but they're all included in the sale price. Unfortunately, I thought that was going to be the case.

@Wayne Brooks I was unaware you could get a new FHA loan every 2 years. Learn something new everyday. Thank you sir.

From what I've found, to take advantage of the FHA loan you have to owner-occupy for at least a year. My question is, if you found a 'set of properties' being sold (ex. a house, a duplex, and some land with a mobile home on it for say ~ $235k) would you be able to still use or even qualify for that loan with there being multiple different homes?

I'm assuming the answer would be no but I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this.

Thanks,

Jake

@Eddie Martinez

yes I did! It was just starting by the time I got off work this morning at 6am. From the sound of it, this might be a very brutal winter!!

Thanks for the replies. @Darren Sager I started reading the guide, there's a LOT of great information in there!

@Ray Orellano Thanks for the tip about the KeyWords. I set up some for my local area and plan on keeping a lookout.

Thanks again for the assistance.

My name is Jake Blickenstaff and I live in Blue Springs, Missouri (East of Kansas City, Missouri). I do not have any significant background in real estate but am getting into it. I currently am a Power Plant Operator and am saving my extra income to start investing in assets so that my money can make money, instead of 'working' for my money. (Everyone's goal!) I look forward to learning and networking from everyone here. Thanks!
