I've made it a habit to track Department of City Planning updates and zoning proposals because they often signal where the next hot areas will be.

I'm aiming to obtain around $100,000 to $150,000 to get my foot in the door.I come with a solid credit profile, boasting a score of 786 with Experian and 773 with Equifax.

I left the free version of Stessa a couple years ago because of constant failed connection issues with my linked banks and credit cards.

If you want a 10-year goal, you need to create a road map of steps and milestones to hit today so you know you're on the right track.

I am currently rebuilding my credit and have finally been able to start saving money and looking to get my first property by the end of next year.

We went way over our expected budget - by far our worse budget miss ever (remarkably we were only 0.5 week over our 2 month timeline).Using my rule, take the estimates and double them then add for lost occupancy and that is what I would be seeking or the owner have the work done using licensed contractors and do the work, take the risks, and suffer the vacancy costs.If you purchase having to do the work and your appraisal can handle it, the credit at closing is superior to price discount.  

Currently, I have a ton of equity in my home (valued at ~$4M), have good credit (800+), and despite being between jobs and without a steady income, have the capital now to invest and want to develop a plan so I can take action in one shape or another.

Solid income, 690 credit rating. 

So to expand on the question...hypothetically...you have a 5/3 for rent...your tenants consist of 2 adults and 2 children....they sign the lease agreement...THEN...move in 2 (or more) adults...can you have verbiage in the lease agreement that the rent would then increase a set amount if other occupants (adults) move in...providing they pass the credit/background checks...

We are from Allentown as well, and certainly know the challanges lol.You’re on the right track by giving her notice and planning for eviction if she doesn’t vacate.
