This is an excellent place to learn and network.

David Greene's book is indeed excellent, it's basically a how-to.

Hi all -- I'm considering buying a SFH on Center Street just SW of UNC School of the Arts.

John is also an excellent resource for building your network of handymen, brokers, lawyers and CPAs.

Theres lots of examples on here of other investors doing the same thing and it became an excellent start.The great thing about the FHA 203K is that you can actually buy up to a 4 unit property with it.

I do have excellent credit and a tenant in one of the properties and it is cash flowing about 500 per month.

=PMT(5.38%/12,360,-825000) = $4,622 payment (excel defaults to a 365 calculation) =PMT(5.38%/12(365/360),360,-825000) = $4,660 payment (this is how we calculate payment)From the amortization formula the underlined part of the equation should not be there, but they insist that's the payment and any online amortization schedule is incorrectAnybody come across a situation like this?

I'm really loving being a part of this community and thank you in advance for your perspective.I have made some good Excel sheets for finding deals that will work, and have a good idea of what I can do on the lending side, so now I'm looking into next steps.I feel I need to narrow my net before talking to a realtor, so how would you suggest I decide between multi and single family?

Excellent service at reasonable cost, and they offer monthly and quarterly service plans.

The spreadsheet I use is Excel that's in Office 365.
