I am looking for the same thing and wanted to check in with the BP forums so figured i would revive this old thread.

I have been digesting all things Real Estate so right now I am working to lower my DTI while saving at least 6-7% for the Owner Occupant down payment (to include closing cost, etc.).

I've been using Rat X and am convinced it doesn't actually kill them, currently just have snap traps in place.

@Jesi Young I am looking forward to your blog!

After much research, I am interested in any insight or information on Clarksville Tennessee.

If anyone has tips or suggestions, I am more than open.For better or worse, I am taking a leap.

I renovated the first floor already (where I currently live), and now that I am evicting my tenant (yippee lol) I am looking to renovate the second floor when she leaves.I was hoping to do a HELOC, but after looking into it realized my only option is a Conventional Cash out up to 75% Loan to Value.

Jay I know you are a player in this space as well - but I am curious to your opinion on finding decent loans to buy.

I am right down the road in Bryan / CS, TX.

Digging down is a project I am just finishing up.... it is exhausting but potentially worth it.
