I’ve seen properties priced at $150-$250k per unit not counting the illegal units.

I have none (unless you count two human toddlers, which you probably should, lol).

No clause; they saw some houses sell in the area cheaper, however their comps did not match bedroom count and were not the same conditions.

. :)The deal with the 100 mile rule is only applicable if deriving rental income from the departing residence is needed to make the numbers work.VA - will count departing residence rental income once you've got landlord experience.FHA - will count departing residence rental income in very rare circumstances that aren't applicable to most people. 

I am strictly buy and hold; anything I buy today has to be really appealing-not going to gamble on any dogs or overpriced queens at this stage of the market-and certainly not counting on any appreciation for the next while.

The other hidden benefit of owner financing is it doesn't show up on your credit report so doesn't count against you for things like credit score and dscr.

Do not count on any good things to happen.

count me in as well.

I finally got it after about a year (the apartment had a "three strikes" policy and it took me awhile to get the strike count I needed to get rid of him).

I've done the math and it seems we could with certanty keep up this massive savings rate up if we bought the condo cash and lived in it and could buy the duplex cash in probably 4 years after by selling the condo.Would it make sense to buy the condo for that short of a time just to up and sell in in 2 to 4 years for the duplex I am not counting on much appreciation it is a condo. there may be some because of the area however.But this seems to be the only way we can keep our savings rate up. even if we leveraged the duplex we still would be worse off savings wise.
