@Alex Dayes To get the 3.5 percent down payment you have to live there for a year and to not pay the capital gain tax when you go to sale you have to live there 2 of the last 5 years.

Therefore maintain a spreadsheet with the lifetime expectancy and incoming likely replacements and make sure you have that covered.

It must reveal extensive unknown damage in your inspection reports typically that can amount to fifty to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

BECU has been great to me. 5 percent interest locked and no fees to apply.

Also, have you guys even read the lifetime warranty fine print on these vinyl planks?

Hey everyone, I have a question that I would love some feedback on as me and my partner are looking to make our first deal happen. we are looking to use an FHA loan with three and a half percent down payment to purchase a duplex which we would house hack and rent out one side.

Luckily starting the next year, a new state law limits the amount cities can raise property tax revenue without an election at 3.5%https://cbsaustin.com/news/local/austin-city-manager-proposes-8-percent-jump-in-property-tax-in-new-budget?

There is a very small percent percentage of people who are in the situation you're describing who can work their way out.please excuse any grammar errors, as I am using voice to text.

And one thing about our investor base they think of things in terms of lifetimes.. 

Depends on how you get along with him.I started REI with my mother in law after she retired, her husband passed away, and with a lifetime of savings, life insurance, and a accident insurance settlement, she was all ready to do REI.
