However, HUD will allow for a reduction in the offer if a problem that's unknown now crops up after the offer has been accepted - I know several people (including my mother) that got some money off their HUD deal.

Quote from @Alecia Loveless: @Matthew Paul where I live in Northern New Hampshire McDonalds starts at $16 but unless you’re a nurse or doctor there’s no jobs for over $22 and I mean none.

If your strategy is strictly mtr then consider areas where traveling nurses and other similar occupations prefer.

I think there are many over looked opportunities like mother in law suites, finished basements with walk out, finished garage, or building an ADU, renting to room mates to offset cost, etc.

Definitely seems sketchy...especially all these "self help" answers and quoting Mother Teresa.I use Propstream.

Zoning, subcontractors, mother nature, P/I during construction and rent up, your loan doesn't get "fixed" until after construction, material inflation, etc, etc, etc.You have taken most of the risk off the table with family financing and family construction. 

I am a nurse and I have an addiction MD partner planning to turn this 20-door motel into nonprofit sober living which the area is in desperate need of.

The property is located close to a hospital and made it perfect for us and our community by providing a family-owned property to traveling nurses.

It’s next door to her mother’s house.

However, my mother is asking me to visit her to help with some matters, and I'm struggling to balance both responsibilities.My property needs some work to be rental-ready, and I want to make sure it's done properly to attract good tenants and maximize rental income.
