If you are buying and STR- most are in good areas that appreciate...grow your wealth baby and let the guests pay your mortgage down! 

It was a pretty cool experience and just a baby step towards our ultimate goal.

"Go Habs Go" I think i had a little baby throw up in my mouth, HAHAH, jk!

We eventually had a baby on the way so we found a place in the country we liked and decide to sell after being there for 4 years.

My tenants were usually families w a baby, kept the place spotless. 

If the location is good, then first come the hippies, artists, and bums; then come the hipsters; then come the yuppies; then come the trust fund babies ... so another good strategy if you can pull it is to buy from a hippie, sell or rent later to a trust fund baby :) Venice is an excellent example of this ...

Someone, anyone with experience please explain buying a house in this circumstance, describe it in baby steps, every little detail.How do I make the offer and if accepted what actions do I and the husband need to take at that point?

I am very dissapointed with Chad Chiniquy's setup.Go to local REI clubs, do this in baby steps til you you are comfortable and know what you want.

Welcome home, baby!

Even through small baby steps we were still able to go from 0 to 7 housss in less than 4 years!
