After living in the property form 2019 to 2024, my wife and I moved up to Maryland for a new job.

Quote from @Keith Lincoln: Here's my situation.I currently live in upstate New York but am looking to move to Texas.

And my Dad in the 70s told me about fake lenders to.. make a living on upfront fees and never lend..

I currently live Levittown and a house around the block from me is on the market for 1.5m.

Even though I’m a local broker, I’m a big fan of “Live where you want to live.

If you are not planning to live in the property, then you are not going to qualify for an FHA loan.

I’ve been managing commercial real estate for about 10 years and want to start investing in real estate.Outside of real estate, I enjoy golf, live music, hanging out with friends and familyExcited to learn and connect with you all! 

The properties are often flawed and no well-suited for a family to live there long term (lot's of bedrooms, but tiny living room, no yard, no garage etc), that's why they sold for a discount an get used as STR.

The area where i live, land is very expensive.

@Jose Saladin Purchasing your sister’s home as a live-in rental offers instant equity (~$170K), tax benefits, and landlord experience, making it a solid first step into real estate investing.
