Ineffective or Absent Conflict Resolution ProcessEvery successful group of people needs an effective conflict resolution process characterized by:simplicity to understand and remember;quickness to start and complete;a clear vocabulary.My company, Livingsmith uses and recommends the 5-on-5 Process for conflict resolution in co-living homes.2.

She has some stock (maybe 50k), some retirement IRA of around 100k which I believe she has started to take and then maybe 20k in her savings account.

But for homeowners its fantastic way to start in home ownership one of the best I have ever seen !! 

Start by getting familiar with your local market.

I really want to do local meetups and interact with more advanced investors but don’t know where to start.

Happy to share resources or insights that might help as you get started!

I started out with little to nothing when I was in the Army and building up properties slowly. 

It does beat the expected inflation rate of 2% set by the Fed.Rents will remain about the sameWhat’s interesting is they also expect:A 11.7% increase in existing home inventory followed by Single-family new home starts growing at an impressive 13.8%. 

The interest rate isn't that huge of a difference between the 15 and 30 so worst case scenario if you have the 30 year option is you start paying it down on a 15 year timeline - sure you'll pay a little more in interest over the 15 years, but it will have been worth it if you bought another house.
