Hello am new here am nate and purest of rookie.. got nothing in my back got some dedt that can't seem to pay off car is falling apart.. and still live with parents.. still have this drive to buy a house and just rent it out or do the FHA loan.

I'd also recommend these two books by Avery CarlSmarter Short-Term RentalsShort-Term Rentals, Long-Term WealthI've been doing a lot of the BiggerPockets books as audio books while I drive instead of just my usual podcasts when I really want to drill down and learn a specific topic and I'm loving it so far.

Finally, our W2 jobs pay well and don't leave time to focus on making the rentals into a business and with having lost the drive to do it I'm just feeling a bit lost since these houses were a big part of my retirement plan-- and now I resent them. 

If you drive through residential streets versus MFU neighborhoods, there is a distinct difference in most (not all) cases.

I had inspector in examining a new bathroom which had new electrical in support of the bathroom.  

Do you think waiting 7 years to see income is a good idea can never spend it so keep driving your yugo? 

I am looking to move as early as November of this year to get a second property closer to Washington DC (~ 1 hour drive). 

Removal and examination after ceiling drywall removal revealed the water tracked along a joist and saturated the ceiling from a focal point along the joist.

The bottom line for me is that I drive every day.
