For me, if you want to live there then price/investment opportunity is a pure bonus.

My Dad likes to buy these types of properties and turn them into rentals to collect the extra cash flow from the non-conforming units ... double bonus if it is in an area with college rentals (that tend to rent by the room) or airbnb.

You can get the bonus round if you would ask them if they would pay X for a property with Y configuration in Z area.

Hat could be a great added bonus for full pro account members who request and become "certified.

But aside from the bonus in cash flow that it will bring, I was curious to if the repairs and roof done to the garage will in fact add value to the property at all!?

Let's say a house is priced at $100,000, you decide you're feeling generous and put a down payment of $70,000, leaving only $30,000 of a mortgage.

Navy Federal has an excellent secured card that graduates and they are very generous with their credit limits and that is important in reguards to utilization.

If you added my Total income, my bonuses, and the ESOP it wouldnt come to $40,000.

My honest advice would be to lean towards using on the the providers on here who are always generous with their time to help educate us all.

If it's a new investment in a new area, then having a PM already in place is a bonus (again, a good PM company).I have a few older homes and haven't had any issues.
