I'm new to the fascinating world of REI and have recently been spending my spare time watching, listening, and reading BP content!

In my spare time I enjoy doing Crossfit at a local gym, reading, meeting new people, and traveling whenever time permits.  

Spare me.So it doesn't have to be a subject to, but a creative solution with no or low money down is what is needed.

Our tenant is allowing her 18-year-old niece to stay with them in the spare bedroom.

I'll spare you until the next post :)I look forward to engaging with BP Nation!

I would appreciate any advice as to taking my first step towards buying a home and living in it while rehabbing at the same time or to stay where i am now and buy the property to work on it in any spare time I have.

Lawyers give plenty of good advice but it’s like $250/hr...I have an attorney that I use sparingly but it’s probably about 45 minutes from you.

I would bump it up in any scenario where I was intending to borrow 100% though...unless you have spare capital as a stop loss.Make sure you keep some cash or another non-traditional-lender line handy as a take-out for that line with a 5-year balloon from the bank.

My first impression is that it was worth the $500 we paid.I want to know from the "real" LSU PIG program members here if they are still seeing the membership fees they paid was with it.Also I'll really appreciate if some real members can spare me 5 minutes for a phone call just to get their impression.Please email me and suggest  5 minutes that is good for your schedule.Thanks,

You will get owner occupied financing also mentioned, property management experience, most likely live very cheaply and force appreciation if you fix up the house in your spare time.
