It is a place to park capital and earn a return on it.If your dream is to generate income in the Real Estate field you could look at becoming a Realtor.

This is what dreams are made of 👍

Of course it would be a dream to find one like this for $100,000, but those seem to be very rare occurrences.So you rent the expensive side, leave in the cheap side for $200-$300/month....not accounting for vacancy, repairs, reserves, leasing.   

What matters are your goals and dreams.

Dawn finally broke on Marblehead.I had spent the last 20+ years working for people and companies who didn't give a rat's flea-infested behind about my hopes and dreams - much less my grand career plans.I finally latched on to real estate in 2014 - something that I'd always been interested in and I FINALLY found my calling.In the last year, I have made more than any year in the supposedly lucrative field of medical sales - and I've been home every night. 

That sounds like a dream... not a plan. 

As of now we are interviewing and forming our dream team.

I am in the beginning phases of interviewing my dream team which includes an accountant.

Now granted this is not money in your pocket but if you are planning on keeping the property long term, does this approach of taking advantage of the FHA loan to buy a property you wouldn't dream of buying right now because you lack the down payment cash make sense to do?
