Quote from @Alan Mills: Yes, I would agree with Chris and Bill, but if you have an option to get around this by putting it inside the house?

They have the option in which you do it with them and the other one in which they do it for you.

If you're living paycheck-to-paycheck, debt acceleration is probably not an option for you.

Definitely a smart move to consider some out-of-state options before diving into a first investment property.

For the most part vs focusing on a specific neighborhood or two I would say keep you options open to all. 

You'll have all amortization options, but the most common will be 30 year fixed and that's generally the recommended one. 

Happy to connect and talk about options.

They can sometimes be more open to funding niche investments like mobile home parks, especially when you’ve got proven cash flow and a solid plan.Another option could be talking to your uncle about seller financing.

I tried the "fix it" option on the Stessa site, and it constantly gave me the error that there was a problem with my bank?
