I predict that the rehab will go very, very slowly... and you'll have a tenant that will use every opportunity to not leave.Conflicting tenancy law with contractor law, liability out the yin-yang (if he gets injured working on the house... in Georgia he could sue the living daylights out of you for making him work on the house he was living in and leasing from you)This is a bad idea on so, so many levels.

@Leon Yang @Stan Hill Great question, Jason.

@Dow Yang, from what you're written, it sounds like you don't really need a FHA loan.

Like you mentioned it’s the ying and yang of real estate investing, all about the balance and you are so right he keeps me balanced on most issues, but once he sees even the first successful deal I know he will come around because I agree that right now all he sees is risk of loosing everything, our home, cars, money, just everything but once I can show him this can work or it can be successful even if it takes awhile to reach a decent financial status, I just know it can work.

@Dixie Yang that makes sense.

@David Yang With all due respect, you might be missing the strategy a little bit.

Of course there's the yang to that yin... 

Hey Vickie Yang , I'll be working on getting PM this week.

Though some of these partnerships have unfortunately faded, we never close doors, as sometimes they just open up again . . .Today, I'm excited to announce that we're once again syndicating BiggerPockets content to AOL Real Estate, and our first post, written by Leon Yang, is now live on their site -- Investing In Real Estate Before Buying Your First House?
