The only other you might try to to use door hangers and advertising to round up these possibilities.  

A 203k Loan is where the purchase price and rehab costs are rolled into a single loan.Assuming you have a respectable FICO you can buy, with a FHA Loan (3-5% down, a 30 year amortization schedule, and a residential loan rate).

Retire with no worries, no debt, and the ability to travel anywhere we have to to be around family.

Up till that point every single tenant I deal with is lying to me.It sucks it has to be that way, but people always feel the landlord is the easiest and best person to screw over and they honestly think the world is theirs.

Right know we have built and sold 7 single-family homes and are subdividing other property into single family lots right now.

Hello – I was just reading the article on Facebook about why beginning your investing process with a duplex works out great, what I'm trying to find out is if I can use those same rules when buying a Single family house.

I have flipped single family homes, built spec homes, had section 8 rentals, and prepared due diligence packages for friends on a commercial scale. 

I saw earlier in one of the forums that it was difficult to get an FHA loan when you own a single family and want to move into a multifamily.

Before you even consider a trip to court (and I'm not sure why you'd consider this option at this point anyway) you need to be aware of your options as a tenant in your state in terms of what you can do if a landlord does not address repair issues to make a rental unit "habitable".You also need to be aware of just what limits a landlord must go to to achieve this.Colorado does allow a tenant the right to withhold rent IN SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES if a rental unit is "uninhabitable". 

Many of them are potentials as buying agents, but I can try them out on a single property showing, see if our personalities mesh, see how responsive they are and how knowledgeable they are about specific neighborhoods.
