One door will not change your life financially, at least not right away.

Hey @Dalton Foote - I highly suggest  using a renovation loan and house hacking a multi-family if that is possible with your current life circumstances.The 203k and homestyle renovation loans are just amazing products and drastically help you reduce your risk, in my opinion, because you are able to leverage the cost of the entire renovation with such a low down payment loan.We work with a lot of clients who use these products in Chicago, and no matter what, in the long term, they gain great equity.If you aren't able to house hack - the process is essentially the same, but just with more money down with hard money or conventional construction loan.

I am ready to take that next step towards F.I.R.E and set my daughters up for life!

My family has invested here my whole life and its been very good to us. 

Oh yeah, that's the med-life. 

I've shifted from trying to economize in everything in life to seeing that oftentimes it's well worth it to pay for the full service experience, no nickel-and-diming.

I separated from the military in 2021 with full disability benefits, a transition that fundamentally changed my outlook on life.

Life Changing is my go to now as their owners and 5 of their loan officers have even joined my group.

What market works for your life? 

I already have money left in the property and hesitant on sinking anymore in.  .If there isn't much equity, and there is so much to fix to make it livable, why not do a "deed in lieu" with your lender and move on with life?
