I waited til I was 44 years old to invest in RE and have been buying and holding SFR for almost 10 years now.

As is was mentioned above Fannie/Freddie require 12 months before you can use the new value to walk away with cash.

Hey @Steve Johnson, I found your website but it does not explicitly mention HVAC and I actually was about to ask on the forum if anyone had a recommendation for a furnace repair job... not a big job, one unit in a duplex not working properly.

No, wait, stop!
