With a teaching and leadership backgroud, I have an interest to help others write their programs or review their presentations to address every learning style.

It’s a great way to start building equity while offsetting living costs, and programs like FHA loans can make it easier to get in with a lower down payment.Since your parents are open to diversifying into real estate, that could be a big advantage, especially with the equity they have tied up in their property.

Are there specific military programs or contacts I should look into for housing opportunities?

Are you concerned that said Freedom of Speech would impact book/program sales?

However, I saw enough that I believe that the information available is so imperfect and subject to interpretation that large losses would be an inevitable part of the program, as well as large gains.  

Great program.

If your project qualifies for EPP (Express Permit Program), then you don’t have to secure permits in the traditional way.

Then a few days later got another email asking if we wanted to invest in another note program!!   

This is an option to consider and many larger banks/credit unions and nationwide mortgage lenders have released new loan programs allowing 2nds, HELOANS and HELOCS.

They used that period of unemployment to skip paying student loans and then try to get some kind of program/hardship deferral or something aka "gaming the system".
