I represent a lot of buyers in Tampa, and some hire me for full service PM, limited service PM, and some self manage. 

These borrowers are typically out of the market for extended periods of time, have limited contacts in the debt world, lack understanding of how different loan programs work, and are susceptible to working with the one bank / credit union loan officer that they know through their family, friends, church group, college, etc.

Try to avoid renting out a single family to an actual family because you will limit how much juice you can squeeze from that property. 

Interest rate increases which they bought insurance to limit increases to 2%.

House hacking can reduce living expenses but may limit roommates or share space.

Brother I'm really sorry to hear your story, really Charissa Nappoles and Rober Mincey is the worst composition, I bet they make tons of kickbacks and don't give a **** on what they are really doing

I really see Columbus Ohio as an extremely safe bet for the next 10-20 years.

Keep in mind the following: 1) If you don't have enough cash for the entire purchase in the TSP rollover to IRA, your financing options would be limited to a non-recourse loan.

This dynamic needs to change and hopefully difficult times like we are currently in will force limited partners to demands more transparency. 

You can work limited hours in so many different capacities that you want to keep that for longer than you think to keep supplementing more options.
