4o Hi Monty, I Live 15 minutes from the freeport area with building and flipping experience.

Working horrible job, living horrible, no golden streets of opportunity found.

If you are just starting out, this is for you:When you buy an investment property, it is treated differently than a house you are going to live in. 

I have a client that lives in Hawaii but owns a property in DC area.

I live in California, this is a bay area property.were not looking to move out of state and house hacking is less palatable when a duplex costs 1.6 million.

I'm originally from the area and have been starting to look at some properties there as I am living in New Jersey.

In Florida where I live that amount is the first $50,000 for a married couple are exempt.So to put all that into action, let's say the previous owner paid $100,000 for the property 20 years ago and lived in the property.  

Housing is one of those things that people like to scream about, but the reality is that there are more than enough places for everyone to live.

If she is worried about her gas bill, she apparently can't afford to live in this unit.
