Davey Rowe I would recommend going conventional as opposed to FHA so that you can use the rental income to offset the mortgages on the vacating property that you’re converting to a rental property.

I assume that you have owned your current duplex for some time, that it was a rental and it is currently under contract to be sold (as opposed to under contract to be purchased)2.

With luck he will agree to leave as opposed to being evicted.

Dead equity will decrease your potential income as opposed to increasing it.

So my practices tend to be in line with the letter of the law as opposed to most agents.  

I think that is because most people treat it like a job as opposed to a business.

Yes, its very exciting b/c it's affordable to buy and you can pay it off within 5 yrs and it cash flow's from day one as opposed to NY where everything starts at almost $1M and the only people that will ever see a profit will be your children.  

It's OK to rent it to a family member, including an LLC partner, as long as it is rented at the current market value - as opposed to PITI.

Is there a pattern of making mistakes regularly, as opposed to once in awhile?

For example why did some target single family as opposed to condos or multi families house?
