We would like to buy another home, live in it for a few years then eventually rent it out as well.

I always wanted to be my own boss and I felt it would be unfair if I joined a wholesale company and eventually started my own company.

Over the last 6 years I have been retired as a real estate professional exclusively handling my own properties and living on the income generated.I don't regret the decision and will eventually fully retire.

Hi Ivan, did you eventually get a construction loan and how did you go about your lots in Sebring?

Update: so i haven't logged in for a long time.....but the section 8 tenant is still with us and we eventually convinced her to sign the rental increase.

However the tenants never pay on time, I have to chase them daily, call and pester until they eventually pay.

His carelessness will eventually cause you to lose your other tenants. 30 or 60 DAY NOTICE depending on your jurisdiction.

This leads to larger credit lines and eventually PG's going away. 

And think about what will happen when interest rates eventually come down...When interest rates go down, mortgage applications go up like clockwork, which leads to more demand, which will likely lead to increased home price appreciation. 

Remember, there's always a new listing boost, which eventually goes away.
