and you must live there.if you decide to have your mail forwarded there and have someone rent it from you, like a relative or whatever - you are violating the rules [NOT RECOMMENDED].purchasing investment homes to live in, fix up and sell is definitely a viable option - it takes discipline and focus - many people who make these kinds of investments can get side-tracked, do too much to the property, get married, have kids...life happens and before you know it, it's not a true "investment" property anymore...it's your home.

Sure forces discipline.

goodvalley; you're to be congratulated for the discipline it took to pay off the other house in 8 years, particularly with a family to provide for!

If I had to get a job again, some possibilities would be: teach English in Japan or some other foreign country that allows me to experience travel and different cultures, become a firefighter, go back to school for a master's in another subject in a science discipline so it's free, I'm great in any sort of sales role and I wouldn't even have a problem doing something like selling cars, hell even bartending would be more enjoyable than this.Also regarding the Google algorithms etc, I don't do any SEO for exactly that reason...my traffic is all paid traffic, so I have far more control, and I advertise on affiliate-friendly sources with essentially no compliance guidelines or restrictions of any kind...I focused on these because I thought they would be more long term than continually getting banned from and then defrauding Google, Facebook, etc. like most big affiliates do.

Hard to find someone like that who actually knows what they are doing across several disciplines.

I've set my goal to lose 10 lbs more by April 15th, 2016 with a waist size goal of 32.That is some serious health discipline on your part.

It has taken several years and some very challenging self discipline, but now my credit pretty good.

Buying a property is a great thing but you need to use some discipline.

Am I just creating an excuse to pay more because I want these units or should the disciplined side of me win out and stick with older, single family units that can be purchased and rehabbed for less?

I mean the difference is 20 a month for example and not 200.I have found people on section 8 do not usually have the discipline to save up the difference.
