Hi Devin, Have you ever considered that instead of America needing smaller homes that are more affordable, that America needs more higher paying jobs so that people can live the actual American dream versus having to settle for less and less and less (Has George Carlin pointed out in his classic speech about this). 

I currently live in San Diego, Ca. but have been looking in the midwest, mainly Iowa, Indiana and Ohio, for properties. 

I am orginally from Elgin, but living down in Logan Square area of Chicago proper!

My first property was a duplex, and then a year or so later she bought her house, and we moved in together living in MIL suite basement and rented out the rest of the house.

Many investors start with a multifamily property, like a duplex, as living in one unit and renting out the other can offset your mortgage and reduce vacancy concerns.Take your time running the numbers and researching neighborhoods—you're off to a great start!

Purchase price: $120,000 Cash invested: $370,000Completed a co-living new construction project in St.

I live in the greater maryland  area.

We lived in the property for 2 years and rented for 2 years to tenants, so by selling now, we ensured that we could avoid capital gains taxes.

The lender does not live in the home and the agreement states that they be listed as loss payee.

I was living in Kennedy Town for two months last December.
