Sometimes they don’t have an appetite for single family homes.  

Although, I am hearing more and more that the appetite from these sources is shrinking.

:mrgreen: I would still like to find an actual radio stream, but this will satisfy my appetite for now.

AFAIK it's part of the same "Homeland Security" package rammed through in the wake of 9/11.FWIW the person in question was protesting "Falon Gong" harassment and suppression by the PRG.

And meanwhile, while I'm learning, I'll get the loan referral fees to whet my appetite.

If you take out ~ 400k from that, you'll have 100-150k for a downpayment on a nice house and a nice amount of money to either fix up the new place or invest as you choose.From what you've said so far, tying up 400k of equity in this as a rental sounds too risky for my appetite.

I would start out renting it and reevaluate for rent to own later, especially if you get a tenant that it would work with, if you have the appetite to landlord to the low income.

Meet up groups help share knowedge, and whet the appetite for investor money.

BUT...I'd like to learn, and I have a voracious appetite for books, etc--so diving in isn't a problem.

Due diligence can suppress issues down the road but when fibbing (i am being nice) takes place be prepared for the worst.
