Don't worry brother, I feel your pain having a little less to offer here.The best use I have found for my tech skills: connections, and connections with money.

Wondering if locals are counting on the new FoxConn deal (Mount Pleasant) and if perhaps investing in those areas (18K new jobs) would be good: https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/2017/07/26/sco...I'm reading about a lot about the growing pains, but see recently that Racine has agreed to increase infrastructure (water) for the Foxconn development https://www.jsonline.com/story/money/business/2018...

Due to it being a pain to keep the yard maintained living here in Florida.

I feel your pain.

If you get the loan directly in your name as a non owneroccupy you should be able to get a 30 yr loan - but the fees and the PITA (pain in the a.. ) it is to you it may not be worth it.Ive heard a couple local banks will lock in your loan (or would a year or two ago) for up to 15-20 years - but I think that was for folks with great looking balance sheets and high w2 income and likely no more than a 70% LTV.  

I’ll be speaking with an attorney tomorrow but I feel like this will be a painful lesson learned.  

Owning a bunch of houses is not very easy and managing them can be painful and you might look forward to not having to do it any longer. 

And I know about the MDS charges - I'm looking at all the painful detail of a $200 water bill for a property with the water main shut off!

This is great for me because I’m averaging a property / month so going through all that paper work and hoops would be a major pain.

I'm sure that is a pain when dealing with people who might not be completely sure they can even buy a property.
