I currently live in Falls Church VA and am a first time investor looking to break into a market.

And just this morning I had a question for someone at my church.

A colleague's church that rents is looking to get a loan to purchase commercial space for their congregation.

Then I read Dave Ramsey and even assisted in teaching one of his group classes at my church.

The address she gave me is for helping hands church in North Carolina not a convalescent service.  

Sounds like I would need to separate church and state (or buying the house and business travel expenses) and shift towards an office write-off with all the other benefits of a multifamily house hack.

The POA has that rule because a church owned one home and they had way too many church folks coming at a time, taking over the entire beach, playground, etc. for their church use.

and you have to hire experts to put it together Bond councils etc etc. can cost you 100k or more. for us average investors its a non starter.. you need to rely on church groups Habitat .. and in a small way the little Chairty that a few of us BP members started called  aheroshome.org  were we are giving a home away to a first responder free and clear.. 

I met a gentleman at my church who has been doing wholesaling, rehabbing, short-sales, etc for 15+ years and is also a licensed broker.
