Everyone will tell you it’s great to get started early, or you can just move after a year, but in the current environment in our region the rent your property will generate after you move out will likely be less than your mortgage, if you are tied to the area and feel confident you want to stay in whatever property you buy for 3-5 years go for it, if you want flexibility rent and throw that money into and index fund. 

Just make sure you keep enough in an emergency fund in case a roof or furnace goes out. 

Lack of down payment, lack of entrepreneurial personality, low tolerance for risk, looking for the magic key that fits their desires, just want to learn, sold "Castles in the sky" with a gibberish of disconnected statements that while true in a plethora of instances do not add up to truth in any one instance, fear of failure meaning not able to take a financial loss without going into poverty, never told up front how much money they will need to spend to buy the investment in addition to paying for the class.

I'm curious about how you are funding the renovations. 

Adjusted for inflation, the prices of homes in a desirable location appreciate more than average wages. 

Technically, you can't buy a (mortgage) loan interest rate below the federal funds rate right ? 

I still have my W2 that I’m  not ready to walk away from since it is funding my real estate investments.

Demand termination of the contract and transfer all documents, funds, keys, and anything else they have to you or the new PM no later than [DATE].

I got approved for a HELOAN on my primary property but not sure if I should take the loan to just use as “leverage/reserves” to show the HML and get funded.

We were able to exchange most of the funds.
