Bulk up the porch columns to give them more weight.

In the area, 2k in rent for an SFR would be a dream.

I am aware that I will have to spend many late nights and early mornings building the business so I can reach the dreams and desires that I have.

I've always had a keen interest in Real Estate, but fear has kept me from doing anything other than reading and dreaming.

I have been a DIYer ever since buying my first house in the early 80's and always dreamed of flipping or rehabbing houses.

Three years ago I posted something on Facebook that I wrote and it came up as a memory today about WRITING DOWN YOUR DREAMS and working toward them a bit every day.

I will tell you that those nerves are normal and it means you are thinking carefully about the decision and understand its weight. 

I have worked my life to get into a community service position and am far less satisfied with the limited help I can provide in my full time dream job than I ever thought when I was a kid dreaming of it.

Or should I just try to fund my dreams a different way and say goodbye to an FHA loan?

... also, regarding you getting a loan with this proposed purchase: the credit of the IRA account owner would not be of weight here, the loan must be non-recourse, the IRA account owner can not personally guarantee this loan.
