@David SealeYes, FHA loan process is more red tape.  

I leveraged a 203k loan last year on a 4-plex and yes, there is a bit more red tape than a traditional loan, but it was completely worth it. 

Paying HOA fees and dealing with red tape is definitely holding you back, and all that equity could be doing a lot more for you elsewhere.

If replacing siding best if you take off old siding and putting thin OSB with caulked and taped seams to keep the wind from blowing thru the shiplap or 1 bye shearing. 

Does anyone have any taped lectures or transcripts from any calrton sheets aor Robert Allen Enlighten Wealth Institute seminars.

the address is correct, no doubts about it, however the letter returned with this yellow tape that says "not deliverable as addressed" and hand-written note "UTF" (unable to forward according to USPS http://www.quine.org/uspsglos-z.html) Any idea as to WHAT it might mean?

They're just books. and maybe some tapes!

I have not got into investing yet although I am serious, I've read many books , listen to audio tapes every day in the car, watch those corny "flip that house" shows.I am 20 years old just starting to build credit, By next spring at this time I will have made 110K Gross, hoping to save a nice big chunk for a downpayment..My dilemma is, I live in Edmonton Alberta , houses are at insane rate because of the oil boom , houses are going for 300k+ , As a first time home buyer I just think this is just to big of a step...

Inspections should include electrical, plumbing, and septic/sewer contractors (to address the underground infrastructure) but also can include pool, home inspections, asphalt, and more, depending on the park and what the sale includes.

If it is asphalt shingles and they are bare or curling, replace them.
