One thing to note when getting conventional mortgages and spouses.There is a 10 limit per person for conventional financing.You can either do 10 conventional in each person's name which would be 20 mortgages for 2 people or if you do the mortgages jointly, will only allow 10 in total.My thoughts are not to own joint assets until you are both married.

They call it a tribe, a family, or something similar, giving people the sense they belong to something special—often creating a tight-knit environment that makes it harder to question what’s really being offered.So, what’s the takeaway?

Some people will mistakenly use the word MOBILE home to describe a MANUFACTURED home, but those are very different things when it comes to financing them.

My brother is a musician and knows lots of people that come to town to visit.

You will find that people are successful in every market you mentioned but depending on your cash position, a successful rental in one location or the other might not be as ideal for you. 

This was my first big lesson in “letting people down.”

So don't be confined to just areas/markets that you know people in!
