It all seems somewhat fluid at this time regarding owners trying to formulate a plan to deal with the problem. 

Every real estate investor needs to have a team of experts as a moat around their castle, as well as, entity formulation, etc. 

They ask about current needs but they also offer help building/keeping a budget, formulating a plan to get back on track, and more.

So as I continue to look over local listings and try to formulate my long term investment strategy and just gather the necessary knowledge to achieve my goal of just buying a single property by the end of the year I have started to wonder.Has anyone ever rented their own living space from someone but owned a property of their own that was rented out?

From there, you can formulate a plan for a certain property, and try to figure out if it's a good deal or not.

Apparently they changed the formulation.

Just learning about REI and formulating my first steps on this road. 

Instead, the investor should use the information provided by other parties to formulate their own opinion.
