For the last 4 years in AZ, I have been a home inspector.

I have been planning on selling my home.

Hello @Hudson Filippi FHA does have a One Time Close construction loan that will allow you to build a home.

Based on some of the research done, I am inclined towards starting out with a small multi family investment property (2-4 multi family home).

A little history on my investment real estate journey if we can call it that….Back in 2005 my wife and I bought our very first home when we were 24/25, 3 Bed, 1 ½ bath 1500 sqft single family home for $167,000.

The last time I represented a mobile home park purchaser, county health department allowed four MHs per septic tank. 

In today’s market most homes will be worth more than their outstanding loan balance unless they are VERY recent purchases with little to no money down.
