Woohoo! My offer got accepted for an investment property in Pennsylvania. Next up is a huge financial hit: closing costs. I just signed a bunch of disclosures from my lender and after reading them it has me thinking, ...

Hopefully it’s not combined with the landlord hatred.)It sounds more like an attempt to either admit they made a mistake or have to do any work to fix their problem.  

(We switched to commercial financing when we ran out of loan slots with Fannie Mae.)  

In my experience, using a hybrid model—combining traditional realtor showings with self-guided tours—has proven to be an effective strategy.

@Jade FrankIt’s great that you’re considering combining travel nursing with real estate investing!

@Summer Shelton yes, FHA loans do allow this but make sure you speak with your lender about some of the trip ups from these loans.

I’m considering amulti-family property in the 76104 zip code of Fort Worth, TX, and I’d love your feedback to help determine if this is a good deal.Property DetailsAsking Price: $169,999 (seller says it’s negotiable).Current Rental Income: $2,400/month (duplex is vacant).Configuration: Combination of duplex and triplex units.Some units are rented at below-market rates.The duplex and need rehab.Historical Income: Seller claims it previously brought in $5,000/month when fully occupied.ConditionBuilt in 1934, so it’s an older property.Some permits were recently pulled (e.g., plumbing, window replacements, and sheetrock repairs), but it still needs work to get the vacant units ready to rent.It’s located in a neighborhood with a higher crime rate but also near major highways and areas with rental demand (e.g., downtown Fort Worth and Texas Christian University).My Goal:I’m focused on cash flow, and this property seems like it could work if I can stabilize it.

I have a soft heart for those who deal with these struggles, it felt like a meaningful way to combine doing good with smart investing.
