What I'm asking is - would you renovate the house to make it "rent-ready" and go back in 2 years and give it the complete finish job when you know the resale value would warrant it? 

If you need a conventional loan or a portfolio loan if it's non-warrantable I'm happy to make recommendations.$400/mo HOA on a $70k condo seems excessive so you definitely want to do good due diligence on what's included and what the financial strength of the organization is.

Do fixed (15 or 30 year) mortgages exist for non-warrantable condos (>50% non-owner occupied).  

Is the City of Atlanta citing owners for code and abatement issues, and then actually escalating the citations to arrest warrants.  

I live in DC so the prices here do not warrant a buy and hold strategy so I expanded my search out to smaller cities in Virginia.

I don't see what warrants this hike, other than the hot DFW market.

How are you handling reps and warrants?

Some home warrant providers offer this, some only cover one unit so shop around.- Budget for a higher capex / maintenance in the first year and set that money aside for emergencies.- Vet your tenants - look on the forums here for excellent tenant vetting techniques and stick to them (avoid friends and family). - Buy in the best neighborhood you can - this helps to ensure an easy resale should you need to exit quickly.House hacking on an FHA loan can yield amazing cash-on-cash returns and set you up for financial freedom if you start out right.

@Justin Reyes Hey Justin, I would YES absolutely 🤗Now, there is a caveat: Please do not request an early withdrawal but a LOAN, as an early withdrawal from your 401k warrants a penalty and, frankly, it is an overkill.
