Find Brandon's videos on YouTube for the "four square" method of analyzing homes and practice.

Quote from @Jordan Moorhead: @Joe S. check out Virtuance.com Thanks..I will keep them in mind.I made an order already this morning with Home jab.

It’s an attached HPR, basically a duplex that is zoned as two single family homes.

Upon closing my single family construction my home had about 25% in equity on day one(in 2018 in Tennessee). 

The “buyer beware” philosophy is fine for commercial transactions, but taking “advantage” of home owners when they’re most vulnerable and lack market sophistication is something no right thinking person wants.  

Alternatively, if I can find a lower cost single fam home where I can cash out 100% of my investment I would do that but those have been harder to find recently. 

It depends on where you want to live, income, personality, and other factors.You could buy a large home and rent out the individual rooms to cover expenses, but this comes with problems.

It does come down to DTI and what you can show versus what you can qualify for in terms of home price.

Recently decided, to invest in a mobile home park but sold at a loss.

The risk increases the further you go from home, so I'd just stay home if I were you.
