It also will match what is most likely already in the neighborhood.

I paid the mortgage off years ago but do have an equity loan and line of credit on it in my name.I am looking to find a good group to work with and partner with as i begin, and my goal is in 3-5 years to be able to match my monthly net income, although i have no idea how it will all work so thats very tentative.I do know in the end i would like to have a net income that will allow me to leave my day job or be able to supplant it if for some reason it were lost. i am really driven to succeed at this.

Maybe you should by a box of matches instead of a house :-/  Jk!!!!

There has to be something that's not matching up. 

I can't get a matching answer from lenders whether I can roll in my closing costs?

I've only been a member of the Matrix group since early April 2016 (this year) and it has been a good match for me. 

There is no benefit (ie employer matching on the rollover funds) unless the investment options are stellar.  

Andrew Gillings have you thought about what types of properties match your style/budget, which part of town, or how you'll find them?

But they don't match.

I'd like to see what your objectives are and if we could be a match for you.
