I have 2 properties now one I live in but Short Term Rent it when not home which is a lot.

Would your parents be interested in partnering on a duplex where you live in one side with a roommate and manage the other side rental? 

We are somewhat handy and would not mind fixing up the house while living in it. 3.

You will need to provide an explanation of the circumstances surrounding the BK every time you apply for credit, apply for a job, apply for a bank account, etc.Bottom line is if you’re working day labor type jobs for small companies and live on a cash basis it might not affect anything.  

I have about 8K to start investing, which I know is not a lot, but with 3 kids living in SoCal, we are already pinching pennies. 

Memphis has a relatively low cost of living, and that’s reflected in the property prices.

I live in Lanham, I am new to Real Estate Investing and looking to connect with local investor.

BUT, I am sick living in construction and would like to move to a new home and then finish fliping and sell or hold the two homes asap.

Selling would likely trigger capital gains taxes (unless you lived in the property for two out of the last five years or use a 1031 exchange).

It was a small $$$ project but time consuming because that was something I DIY'd while living in the property.
