They seem to be on the Columbus real estate investor market like white on rice.

@Ben Rice As soon as you have to use "air quotes" to describe your plan I think we've hit on good ol' fashioned mortgage fraud ;-)  You're committing to make that your primary residence (for a period of time) and that's the intent of the FHA program.  

We lived like monks throughout school, eating rice and beans, riding our bicycles in the rain to class, traveling/sleeping in our Honda CRV for vacations, and working internships during the breaks to save for our downpayment.

No sticky.

That is why I wish there was a Sticky Note on here for New Investors to post posts like mine (and maybe there is and I just don’t know it) that tells them to Read This First before Investing!!!

I modeled my excel spreadsheet after the analysis sticky on this forum… thanks Dorkins!

This is the main reason this gets sticky...

I know it could get sticky with the US government if an investor is sending large commission checks overseas every month and that doesn't even address the possible tax implications.

There is something in the back of my head that remembers something sticky with VA loans.Do you know if there are any pitfalls when dealing with VA loans?

I did driving for dollars, sticky notes on doors and hand delivered mail, because I couldn't even afford stamps.
