These 6 items all can require a significant cost to remedy so it's important to be able to identify the existing condition.

You may also see a discount fee which means you are buying down your mortgage interest rate in exchange for higher upfront cost.

I'd consider your appreciation YOY, mortgage amortization, and your housing expense savings i.e. instead of paying $2,200 for an apartment now you're paying $1000/month since your roomates are helping cover mortgage. 

I have a strong network here and know the key players/stakeholders in the community and am trying to learn how I can get involved to make an impact to change the community and restore the existing (beautiful) infrastructure. 

I haven't seen any yet that do 10% down on non-owner occupant purchases, but that is awesome if that exists. 

With the high housing market in the past few years, house-hacking and living "rent free" is very tough almost everywhere in the country, especially if you are planning on putting <20% down (higher mortgage payments + PMI).

Quote from @Susan Mumford: Any thoughts about Lee Arnold's Income Notes Digital Training Program for flipping mortgage notes?

Selling some property to pay down high-interest debt is good, but also consider looking into ways to refinance or leverage your existing assets for better cash flow.

There is still plenty of room above how much the mortgage is.Honesty and trust are important and it seems you're not getting that.

This is when you buy a primary residence (1 to 4 units, the more the better) which you can usually get for a very low down payment and get the best interest rates on and then rent out other units and/or bedrooms within your unit to pay for the mortgage and other expenses.
