I'm originally from the area and have been starting to look at some properties there as I am living in New Jersey.

I specialize in creative rental investments such as STR & co-living. 

I am tired of living the rat race and now I'm in a mindset where I am okay taking risks to jump into real estate investing.

I've personally done just about every rehab scenario, properties I've lived in, properties bought as investments and even properties bought at auction.You've gotten good advice from folks on this list.

My credit should be the highest allowable also and I shouldn't have problems with approval.Ok, i shopped about 80 lenders (based on Fridays rates, market is closed so no live pricing)Conventional Full Doc loan you would be at 7.875% if you put 20% down (you said what the house was worth, but not your purchase price). 

Can you buy a duplex in Arkansas and live in one side just to get your feet wet and make sure you like the area?

Ideally we would love to live in my childhood home.

We’re fortunate to have an above-average income and live well below our means.This summer, we’ll be moving to Detroit (PCSing in August), and we’ve saved about $120,000 to invest in addition to having funds set aside for the home we’ll purchase in Detroit.The reason I’m posting is that I’m struggling to decide how to best allocate the $120k.

Hello everyone, I now live in Manhattan and own one rental property here.

I live in Sheboygan Falls, WI.
