I used to live in the city and the taxes and water bills are nightmares.

As for the areas to target, my goal in getting our feet wet as real estate investors--and since we plan to be living in Sac--is to find a property we can live in while renting out one or more units to help cover our housing expenses, which we can then hold and continue to rent out when we move.

@Ram Gonzales IMO, the funding of such a structure is probably better directed towards "social impact" or "community development" investors.

You could bring less down and possibly have a lower interest rate since you will be living there.

@Fabio CattolicoFrom my experience, balancing career growth, cost of living, and real estate goals is a smart move.

2) If you do owner-occupied cashout refi for best rate, you technically have to live in the home for 12 months before renting it out. * Some responders here may suggest not worrying about that and renting it out anyways.

When I tried to get it when my side of the family found out and tried tp take over reverse mortgage payments to bank because she had died it was to late so they sold the house to Hud and then other reverse mortgage companies but a relative still lives there so they can't kick them out.

I live in Farmington Hills.

Does USAA know that you are living in it?
