Some of the fastest growing towns in the U.S. are happening along this stretch.  

We sourced a lender with tremendous experience in the area, who was willing to stretch and get the deal done.

Customer service was also friendly and helpful.The only drawback i could see is that the money you withdraw from the TSP can't work for you in the fund, so you are sacrificing growth in your retirement portfolio over a decent stretch of several years. 

Yes, it's a stretch from your case, however if you and your family can show evidence of a portion of a population that is employing this tactic, it could set precedent in identifying scammers in the system.

I am also not positive this property would actually pull the $1,700 a month in rent, but it isn't that big of a stretch being an A/A+ neighborhood. 

I'd like to request 15 days move in, any longer is a stretch.

At that point it wouldn't have a lien and it would be a valuable member of an investment portfolio with all that equity.There are obviously other routes we can take to aquire other properties to start our portfolio during that 3 year stretch.

@Nick Fitzpatrick :I think I may be trying to make the numbers stretch here more than what's realistic.

The main way people lose in competitive markets is to stretch too far financially to get into a property, then give it back to the bank when things turn bad personally and/or economically.

The stock market/real estate is not risk free by any stretch.
