And i have heard awesome things about the Genoa Bar and Saloon...oldest bar in Nevada and Mark Twain alongside other Presidents Ulysses S.

Jason Powell I know that FHA allows a non-occupant applicant along side of an occupant applicant; however, given that you currently have an FHA loan, you may not qualify as such so you should reach out to some lenders to be sure.

@Jeff AdemaAnother option is to open a self-directed IRA and incorporate a TIC transactions alongside your IRA. 

My family had not studied RE investing so the slightest thing that hiccuped or didnt turn out sent them into a "fear frenzy".

I have one deal under my belt and I learned a good amount of information, but honestly, that deal went through without any real hiccups.

There is a lot to read between the lines and it really comes down to your effectiveness in communication and persuasion:1) Accepting Your Own Mistakes: Start an honest discussion, maybe accepting some responsibility at first for whatever you may have done that caused a hiccup in the project (no matter how small or insignificant it is in comparison to their delays or mistakes). 2) Offering Help: Then ask 'What can I do to help out?'

I want to diversify and am curious what some of you guys do along side your REI. 

I think they are eager to raise the rate from a simple stand point of feeling like they have no ammunition now if the economy hiccups.

I am working as an independent contractor working alongside a real estate firm that is looking for B-C properties of the 20 unit or higher variety preferably with a value add component to the deal.
