I bought an outdated condo, planning to do a cosmetic rehab later when I had more budget.I moved out of the condo in mid-2024 for a job, and by September, my tenant noticed mice droppings.

Even with trump's aggressive plans for mass deportation and border security, I also have to think long term about future presidents' agendas towards border control too, and anticipate potential presidents being more loose on border security.

I do plan to live in the vacant side at least for a year, with a VA loan after a year I can take out a loan on another property.

I generally see literature as such, and cannot tell if having a part time employee removes the chance of solo 401k or if the custodians just don't want to deal with it:"IRS rules prohibit contributions to a solo 401(k) if you have full-time employees, but you can use the plan to cover yourself and your spouse into retirement."

Added a bathroom and remodeled existing.Opened kitchen to diningNew roof, driveway, windows and mechanicalsRefreshed landscaping, hardwood floors and paintWhat was the outcome?

More than happy to connect and strategize game plans any time.

Quote from @Raif Jochim: Bigger Pockets Community -I'm trying to plan for the future and have a question I'd like your thoughts on.  

They do not offer every bank or lender out there or the lenders would never get a lead.When I say FDIC what I mean is "Fully Delegated" and not just Full Eagle where FDIC Mortgage banks have better rates (which they do) because  retail it's or wholesale and not selling the loan to meet a branch bucket or Loan officer compensation plan.

I am subletting a property that I am planning on purchasing the set up where instead of any type of security deposit I am re-having the property which is necessary before I rent it out.I will have about $20,000 in expenses all before I purchased the property.

Or, plan on this being a nest egg builder and growing your equity, living in the home for 2 of the last 5 years and then selling with Section 121 exclusion.
