Im in a similar situation with a municipality, but if you are able to cover health insurance through the service, that makes the transition out of the traditional W-2 much more feasible and also covers all of your bases.  

The rental calculator here on BP uses a traditional mortgage, and obviously seller financing isn't quite the same. 

Any advice on hanging my license with a traditional company vs. a flat fee company to maximize return on real estate investments?

My question is when we go to get a mortgage, will a appraisal for a traditional mortgage give any credit for the warehouse or will it just consider the value of the house?

@Wes BlackwellThanks for the replies to everyone.A bit more about me and my current state, unfortunately I am going through a divorce (we were married through her tradition which means not legally yet the pain is the same) that being said; I do understand your points Wes.

@Christian Szadyr a lot of this depends on the tolerance your family has to house hacking.

I am now leaving the company and am going to roll my 401k into a tradition pre-tax IRA and then a self direct post tax Roth IRA.

I'd put the 20% down and finance the rest through a traditional 30 year mortgage.

@Marc Padilla If Jax is your area of focus, I'd definitely recommend joining JaxREIM on meetup (more of a marketplace where wholesalers and investors message each other) and also check out the JaxREIA website - that is more of a traditional REIA with regular local meetings and education - and time a visit to JAX around one of their meetings.Welcome to BP!

Hi Ivy,I'd be happy to talk with you about traditional lending!
