There is an extreme accountability, which is what you must seek to better your lives.

I live right in Glastonbury and I serve the greater Hartford area.

FHA 203k wont work unless youre going to live in the property as your primary.

If you have other money besides the 20K then this is a different story Already living in a house I bought before Covid.

Having a property management company seems to be a good option for me since I am living out of state.

In this case, you can use Rental Income from the units that you will not be living in and that income can count to help you qualify.FHA rates are going to be lower than conventional for you almost always, but FHA does have a 1.75% funding fee. 

I'm familiar with the Greenville area, having lived in North Carolina for a few years.

I live in California (Central Coast) and have built a 12-door portfolio in Detroit, which has been a great market for both cash flow and long-term potential.Detroit still offers properties well below the $150k mark, with strong rent-to-price ratios and a market that’s seeing growth in key areas.

But this was an awesome opportunity for me because this is my first living situation where I will be on my own (and getting used to paying a rent/mortgage) but this will put my overall mortgage on a 400k house at roughly $2000 a month for the first year!

I live in Nashville, TN.
