Appreciate the help in advance.For a rental, That is two high school kids two days at $12 per hour. 

Pick up a side “gig” to make extra money above and beyond your income…don’t let pride get in the way (I did when I was your age; new car, nice clothes, one job because I “went to school” to work one job; BS).

Good schools, safe area, booming.

6) Are school taxes coming up and going to cost you another chunk soon?

Is there a reason I should consider a different school? 

I'm in need of advice...I recently purchased a home in a great school district from an estate.

That link above is to a private school that teaches and "certifies" 203k contractors, and is not necessary, or recognized by FHA.  

My question is, when you find something like this, and you don't have the funding ability(I work at a school and have TRS not a 401k, so I cannot take a loan out against it, nor do I have 20% down, but I have about 60k in equity in my home, but the lenders I have talked to will not do a HELOC in my state, point is I can flip, but not buy and hold with my own financing) and you need a partner on the deal, how do you protect yourself from telling them about the property and them just taking it?  

Left school in 11th grade.

Schooling in my town is amazing, so there is no issue with that.Transportation to NYC is literally 2 minutes on every corner to the bus, so that isn't an issue.Additionally, I was told that I should stay away from homes with oil tanks for heating because if the oil tank was to leak, the soil would be contaminated and it would cause a big headache and a big whole in my wallet.
