We only moved the toilet about three feet to the shower, so it's not like it's long distance heavy lifting to put it back, if they want.108 year old house, FHA and HUD and income taxes didn't even exist when it was built.There was also some other little stuff that was a few hours in an afternoon of work for the buyers.

We are looking to finance the purchase with an FHA loan and stay within a one-hour commute to Manhattan.I have been searching for good deals on Zillow and Trulia as well as talking with a few different brokers.

Turned my commute to and from work into a learning experience.

Month to month renters are challenging locally much less from a distance.

I basically started at episode 1 and am working my way through them day by day on my commute to/from work (it makes the drive much more tolerable).The "live-in flip" idea sounds like a great idea!  

I've only listened to podcasts on my daily commute for the last couple months until recently.

I think that's a great niche business plan.The trick would be to create marketing material and get it circulated to the big companies local to the property (ie: tenant needs to be able to commute).

With the help of family and friends I was able to do much of the work myself (and learn a ton along the way.)That experience sparked my interest in real estate investing.After building some equity in my initial foreclosure purchase, I bought a single family home within walking distance of a local university near my hometown.

This is in a neighborhood close to downtown Ann Arbor, just half a block from the river and walking distance to the University of Michigan medical center, campus, and downtown Ann Arbor.

I've heard the podcasts are great and I plan on listening to plenty of them on my commute from San Mateo to San Francisco.
