@Buddie Slone I believe that the loan balance will have to be larger to get a Fannie Mae loan.

I’m a insurance agent who recently helped a buddy get great coverage and saves close to 65 grand on his portfolio.

Had a lot of buddies stationed in Germany; Air Force?

I still remember talking to my United airlines pilot buddies whose stock got hammered not only then but in 911 and it came back.. so airline stocks that are down 75% they should rebound..

I have a buddy whose credit is not where it needs to be and is in the process of repairing it and would like to purchase a house for his primary residence.

It MAY widen your prospective tenant base.Even if it's unused it may make that unit more desirable to some (bragging rights to their buddies) like a hood ornament on a car.Just my 2 cents.

One of my pilot buddies bought 1 mil worth at the 180. not sure if he margined it or just paid cash but even with the pull back he has made a few million.  

A buddy of mine is an anesthesiologist in Brazil.

Then I got the desire to do real estate again and I asked a buddy of mine that had done several real estate deals if I could do a deal with him.  

My buddy converted his garage (detached) into an ADU and wound up spending in the neighborhood of 80k on it.
