I say to look at these hard because these items can occur for a period of 12 months possibly without major issues of seeing large cracks or settling if a lot of water hasn't been present in large volumes.

I’m 30 years old, 10 month old son, juggling taking care of the family, property of 21 acres, an old farm house, work, and real estate.

You need to build your credit.

Purchase price: $72,000 Cash invested: $107,600Case Study: Cockroaches to Cash FlowProperty AcquisitionI found this property through MLS.

Been listening to bigger pockets for about a month now (literally everyday, at every moment I have spare time LoL) and am learning a lot.

I would, If in this position, take the equity in the form of a HELOC and purchase a cash flowing asset that would not only pay for itself but pay for the cost of the money while putting cash into my bank account each month. 

While I have found MTR tenants who stay a year, most start month to month and just happen to extend. 

Now, you need to figure out how to find deals and pay for them.

After my P.M. costs I collect $940 or so/month. 

I would do it even if I sell far outside the 18 month window.
