I currently live in Tennessee and I have a possible opportunity to in move to the state of New York for a two-year work-related contract come the summertime.

:)There are always some kind of good deal on furniture out there and I just have to pass because I am not currently looking to outfit another STR and I have no space.I would love to have a 10k sqft warehouse to store stuff when I find it so I have it @Patricia Andriolo-Bull

My wife and I are tied to this area due to being in proximity to family and we currently enjoy a farming/hobby farm lifestyle that is a big part of our family culture.

If anyone who professes to teach you something about real estate cannot or will not identify 10-20 specific, verifiable addresses they currently own and rent out, or have flipped, or optioned away or syndicated or whatever, they do not deserve any of your money. 

If you are going to be an owner-occupant, want a low down payment, and are planning to do a renovation, the FHA 203k and Fannie May Homestyle loans are your best optionsHow do you know the property is currently upside down on the mortgage? 

Figure out market rents, deduct expenses to determine NOI, deduct cashflow you want, plug remainder into mortgage calc at current interest rate, then add lender's required down payment.That is how much you offer!

For reference, we currently build 1 million homes per year just to keep up with current demand.

We're now up to $1,900/mo and the current tenant wanted to sign a full year lease so it's a furnished long term rental for the moment.

what pms are you currently using and how much do you love it? 

This has also allowed us to provide some excellent incentives for our investors, locking in long term debt currently at 3.75%  through our in house financing program.
