Hello Tam C. yep buying and holding is a great way to go.Life has it's ups and downs, having your own income stream, in addition to your job, give you a lot of security.Best to you.PS - upload a head shot - come'on

This was a very creative,  insightful and tragic movie.

Is the much larger income stream not appealing to lenders?

Looking to focus more on the single family and multi-family initially and then progress into the commercial side to create both passive and opportunistic income streams within this great city.

Nothing like TV and movies where you get a midnight call to unstop the toilet.  

This will drastically mitigate your risk, while also allowing you to diversify across multiple properties, as well as having a regular stream of selling and buying cycles.

I love all the movies that you make and I am sure you hear that a lot.Good Investing,

I do believe you will have to show some steady stream of income for FHA, unless your parents would also be willing to co-sign for you, but I do not know enough about FHA loans to even know if that is a possibility or not. 

MattThis past year the tenants with kids that occupy my units got a free copy of the movie "Frozen".

Of course there are many ways to get started, but I've looking mainly at 2 scenarios:1) Pull equity out of my home to fund 1 or 2 properties and use those income streams to purchase more properties in a few years, and then more in few years after that, and so on.
