my advice would be get a real regular tenant,  unless the market is tight. but i havent heard of any market having trouble filling units as of late.   

I thought the same as you and discussed options with them and filled out paperwork to move money out of my Roth at TD Ameritrade to Equity Trust. 

Fortunately,  we don’t have any problem filling the place!

If you only look at BP from the top level it looks like they encourage you to be overly risky, but the BP forums are filled with people discussing ways to mitigate risk and slower paths to success.

Now the map seem filled with many houses some of them are SFH.

Reason being is it could take YEARS for sub divisions to fill out.

We also thought about filling the pool in....  

You submit the application for the loan on the tsp.gov website, then you have to print out a two page form, fill it out with your bank info (for direct deposit), have it notarized, and then fax it in (of course because it’s the government they only accept snail mail or faxes).

When I initially started out, I was living Omaha so it was very easy managing open houses and getting units filled after turnover with tenants.

I'm in a situation where the home I moved into (about 16 months ago) was a new construction in a very new/empty part of the neighborhood, and the appraisal pretty much matched the purchase price... but since then, the neighborhood has filled with new homes with similar or worse specs that are being listed and sold for more than $10-20k+ above that appraisal.So my question then is: when a lender looks at LTV, do they calculate this based on the fair market value as of today, or would they need to use my original appraisal figure?
