You don't have to be anybody you don't want to :)

(IE I hate people selling me things, but I'm going to have to be a salesman of sorts myself if I hope to be successful.)

My friend, I think you are confusing what it is to sale something. It's only negative if you're offering a bad product or dishonest service. If I'm selling kids drugs that's bad, if I'm selling the cure to cancer that's good. What you have to offer is good because you're not going to take advantage of people, whether it be as a landlord (buy and hold), selling a home to someone (flipping) or anything else related to RE. 

You're right, you might someday get taken of advantage of, that is a possibility. You might get a bad deal, or a tenant that doesn't pay rent or destroys your property. Bad things are going to happen to you rather you chase this dream or not, that's life. The important question we must ask ourselves is not what happens to us but how we respond. So I encourage you to get over whatever hurdles have been keeping you down and make it happen in your life :) Have a wonderful night  

My friend, @Josh Forethow are you doing? Whatever you don't know you will have to pay for the knowledge in someone else. Jim Rohn said " Ignorance is not bliss, ignorance is poverty" Tony Robbins said " When experience and money meet, experience gets the money" :) Forgive me for lecturing but we need to educate ourselves as much as we can on all things real estate. Have a wonderful night :)

My friend, welcome back :) Your skills will not be nearly as important as your ability to overcome fear. This ability and not skills will determine if you or any of us have what it takes to make this a reality. So fixate on that first and the skills will fall into place.( Don't forget that FHA has extended PMI for the life of the loan. Not that that's a deal breaker, just a fyi. Remember multi fam changes at 5+, appraising and lending are different. But a nice du, tri, or 4 might be something your looking for) Have a wonderful night :)

@Samantha Hiscock Thanks for the info, sorry for your husband :) That's good about the savings, it can go somewhere else :)

Hey @Samantha Hiscock

@Elizabeth Colegrove @Kevin E. I haven't even thought of them, but I'll look under every stone :)

Ah, so you can use conventional with 1 year owner occupy then rent it out? haha forgive me if I'm misreading your posts :(

@Elizabeth Colegrove Local lender just being a local bank or local private lender. I don't think I understood your post..lol

@Elizabeth Colegrove you're killing it girl, great job! No owner occupy for a year stuff? Just straight personal property only?
