It was frustrating staying at all, but I also enjoyed putting food on the table.And I recommend that despite me being the ultimate go-getter and ready-for-adventure type.

That's why areas like PG are booming at the moment due to the affordability and accessibility to DC.

In my area, it's very, very difficult to sell them because individuals generally prefer to buy SFRs rather than condos, and there are a ton of SFRs around at affordable prices.

Do anyone have some good advice on some of these cities or other cities with real estate that is more affordable?

That's what people thought the first time before they couldn't afford their homes anymore!

Agreed, the financing does not make the property worth more, but I don't believe that is what she is saying. if her hard money loan costs are say $20k over a 5 or 6 month period, and by receiving owner financing, she can avoid those costs (or a portion of them), then she could "afford" to pay more for the purchase price in exchange for better terms which ultimately save money.I like how you are looking to get more creative and provide multiple options for you to purchase and he to sell.

The seller may decide that he can't afford to sell without a high enough cash down payment to cover the income tax bill.

Wanda Cardenas - it can be frustrating, but you must trust me as a FELLOW CHICAGOAN AND EXPERIENCED INVESTOR.

Hi Patrick.I can share our statement:Provide affordable, clean, and safe housing to lower income tenants.

Then, if you guys all want to be close but not under the same roof (which is what you describe), find some area where you can buy the house you want (and can afford on your own, independent of them) and they can use the proceeds from their house to buy or rent something that works for them.
