I even had to give a seller $20 cash for gas because she said she couldn't afford to drive that entire distance to the closing.My point is, once you find a title company that will entertain your double closings and sub2's or whatever you are doing, make sure you continue to bring your deals to them.

The other possibility i was willing to entertain was starting small by house hacking and getting some rent money there and then maybe getting into rental properties to get a better stream of fixed income.

I know many people who have purchased in Rhode Island but still do all of their shopping, entertainment, etc. in Mass.  

Despite the entertainment value, the property itself turned out to be not much of a deal.

Thank you for sharing your experience and that very entertaining post.

Im looking to get in to multi family is SD as well but have entertained the possibility of doing a single family and renting each room out as an Air-bnb.

I would definitely not entertain an inflated price for a 15% carry ... if you do the math, you would probably be better off financing elsewhere and paying a price supported by the property's operations.

If she wasn’t In Her 70s I wouldn’t even entertain the idea.

Entertaining read.
