My goal is to purchase a small multi-family property with an FHA loan that I can self-manage while retaining my day job as a software engineer.I have been causally reading books, listening to podcasts, and self-educating on personal finance and different asset classes for the last 2 years before finally deciding on real estate; but I still feel like I do not know enough to go at it alone.

Finally, my husband and I were pre-approved for our first deal.

They then wait until July 23rd to tell me that they want me to be employed in my field for a year before final approval, closing was supposed to be the 26th, thankfully the seller accepted a continuance until August 19 as I would pass the 1 year mark on the 14th.

There's no guarantee that your budget will stay the same in the end as it did in the beginning or that the quoted price will be the final cost of the work.

Finally, is there an investor here that would like to talk about that kind of partnership?  

Hello everyone,I'm finally graduating from listening to podcasts and casual internet/Zillow searches to jumping feet-first into real estate investment.

Finally after 10 weeks we've finished our remodel of one side of our duplex. 

I finally have my first deal done and generating income.

There are many rural counties in CO with vacant lots owned by out-of-state LLCs that will have significant budget shortfalls from this change.The only silver lining is a right of first refusal for the lienholder to match the final auction price to buy the property within 8 days of the auction.

I can't begin to fathom the financial harm and carnage that will come when Pace's students finally have to sell their under water properties.
