Initially it banned all local jurisdictions from enforcing any minimums, but then a bunch of towns and cities sued so they settled on grandfathering. 

The best advice I can give to a new investor at your age is to stay out of consumer debt and save as much as you can for your initial investment.

Most lenders will typically lend up to 75-80% of the initial purchase price and 100% of the rehab if you are considered a first time investor.

Approximately 300K value based on current market conditions.My interests were acquired in 3 steps:(1) Initial quit claim of 1/3rd interest (single owner to 3 joint tenants with rights of survivorship on title).

So that is one reason why you want someone on your side making sure your purchase agreement is fair both directions, and not exploitive against you.As to terms - think about your duplex as being fully rented out (even though you will initially live in it).  

My family is in the initial stages of a move to Japan and  applying for a business manager visa.

We really stretched ourselves thin. we did not perform our own inspections because we were busy raising finances .. and our agent insisted we use the same company who did the initial inspections to “get a report in our name” .. we went for visual inspection with our agent and found the master bathtub was  upside down — they said there was a chip and seller was fixing the tub.

Initially, I did it wrong and they reached out explaining the violation.

I have a very picturesque property that I have thought of using as an Airbnb type situation, initially with a building not is use....however I am on a creek, with a little dock.
