for example, you have the lehigh valley in PA just a couple hours away from you.i'll also say this. 

I personally also bought a couple two flats to get started and I always looked at it from an overall expense view. 

Not saying it can't be done at two separate title co's but it's a pain.....and I wouldn't recommend it just starting out. 

Challenge: It's in a neighborhood (no HOA), and renting the entire property (sleeps 25 in total) caused problems in the neighborhood, due to noise and parties – so we only rent the separate cabins now.

In the end, it would have made more sense to hire a couple handymen for a week or two than me spending 3 weeks installing flooring, base and case.

Some come in for a couple weeks some for a couple weeks that turns into months.

They just need a couple "success" stories to tout over and over again. 

Some good into for you to have (and your seller) and steps forward:First: As you have learned, you cannot have two FHA loans unless you qualify for a couple of different exceptions.

I have made some promising contacts since posting my last couple posts.

I actually have a webinar i put on a couple of years ago walking through all the pitfalls and mistakes I made doing 482 BRRRs between 2009-2018 in Chicago.
