@ryan 

@Ryan Dossey I wasn't sure if it was a choice investors were choosing to make to save money or part of the loan agreement. Thanks for the clarification.

I'm interested in investing in a 2-3 unit residence. As I do not have the funds, I have been interested in applying for an FHA loan to purchase this. I am starting my own family and am currently locked into a 14 month lease (wife, newborn daughter, two large dogs) and would not want to live on the property. Could I use one unit as "an office space" for myself and rent out the remainder of the units to cover mortgage costs or do I literally have to occupy?

Any helpful feedback would be appreciative!

Thanks for the post Micheal! Being new to REI and wholesaling in specifically, it is great to see the preservation of others pay off!

Hello All! Being new to the REI world, I would love some advice on putting together a realistic plan with realistic goals as I begin my Real Estate venture. I know everyone has different goals so I am just asking for general guidelines when making these goals. Thank you in advance!

Hello all!

My name is Josh Kellum. I'm 24 years old living in Winston-Salem, NC. Being new to the REI world, I am looking to start building a network of connections. My plan is to start wholesaling to build capital and knowledge. Once I have enough capital, I plan on investing in a multi-family property. Long term plans include owning some residential rental properties, flipping and owning some commercial properties as well. If anyone around the area would like to meet up or if I can help your business in any way, please let me know! I am like a sponge and have the ability to soak up a wealth of knowledge in short time. Quick learner, able to take criticism, ambitious and hard-working are all qualities I can bring to the table. Expecting my first child/daughter any day now and want to position myself to enjoy watching her grow up and not having to spend my time away from her at an 8-5. Thank you and I'm so excited to be apart of this community!

Josh
