Its not easy, but everything difficult is temporary and is only preparing you for your upcoming success.

Just shoring the house alone requires engineer's stamp in this area, I believe.Even if @Danielle R. has the ability to deal with all the complexities, I don't know if one would even want to.

Hey BP,I'm looking for inspector recommendations in the south shore Massachusetts area.

My husband and I are looking for our next rental property and have a goal to purchase another fourplex in the Belmont Shore neighborhood of Long Beach, CA.  

  $600K anywhere south of Boston will buy you one in great shape and probably newly rehabbed.There's a band of towns located on the south shore south of RT 128 and north of I-495 that bear looking into. 

Whether that experience is sitting on a beautiful beach with my wife, or if that experience is fixing a leaky faucet in one of my rentals, or renting to upstanding, wealthy, Class A tenants, or dealing with a low income, but hard working tenant, who is having temporary financial issues. 

They did require a larger down payment because of my lack of experience but I was expecting that and I'll be able to refinance it all out anyway so its only a temporary outlay of money.

Hi all.Anyone doing Temporary Short Term Rentals via Airbnb in New Orleans? 

In addition there is a huge amount of rental properties as well so those temporary displaced can get lodging during the rebuilding.  

Hi Quinton,This may or may not be applicable to you, but if by "unemployed" you mean "on temporary disability, but my job is waiting for me when I get better, and we have an estimated return to work date," than this would be a scenario where ADA trumps ATR and you can still get a traditional mortgage.Fannie guideline on long-term/permanent disability, on social security disability, and on what may be applicable to you: "temporary leave income," which includes short term medical disabilities.For that last one:Just like women/men on maternity/paternity/pregnant leave, a gap between temporarily reduced income due to medical condition, and your normal income, can be made up for using asset depletion.
