I can't seem to locate any decent rentals at this time so I guess I will just go with plan "a" and pay down towards the mall.

I guess why I'm asking, I just purchased my first home.

Thank you all for your reponses. you've all just said the same thing i was thinking, I guess I was hoping for that magic pill.

It was harder finding a lender who would actually do a 2nd FHA than it was to actually get the okay on it as I guess there is more work & more risk involved.

My carrier calls it a "Fire" policy (I guess it covers everything a fire might do to the place, including the flood caused from putting the fire out), but I've also heard them called "Landlord's" policies and maybe even "Rental" policies.

Unfortunately I let O'Brien Law close one of my deals with HUD to save money and guess what they didn't catch back taxes due on property when I went to resell.

Small apartment complexes may benefit some, but I guess it remains to be seen how things play out with the rules.

Try to push your request with the realtor and you will get an reply from owner soon I guess.

3 months and i guess most of us wouldn't agree more, the burst is over.

The tile floors, the "new" bathtubs, and counter tops rented out both my homes.Well, it's a Class A area 1/3 mile from the beach and renters here want the proximity to the beach and functional features ( I guess ).I saw a Rustoleum video on youtube , didn't know you could overlay countertop tile with it ?
