Not sure if that would be a consideration here somehow.Disclaimer that I am not a lawyer, and am not playing one on BP.

@Jay HinrichsIt will all play out in the impending months, I'll keep this topic updated with all the happenings and such.

So that by the time you are ready to retire and sit on a beach or play golf all day, the houses are paid for and you can live off the rental income. 

If you are looking to be financially free and live off the investments forever; look for syndicators that plan on doing “legacy plays” where they rehab the property, refinance and hold onto the property for life.

The deal was done through a local auction company which sold the property as-is with the buyer playing all closing costs. 

Rental Property Investing focuses only on rental properties and is a comprehensive overview of investing in that particular field.As for The Book on Tax Strategies, there are no current plans to revise the original book, but Amanda Han recently wrote a new bonus chapter (and a video!) 

To play devil's advocate, this applicant is not a criminal because she has never been convicted of a crime ("innocent until proven guilty").But where there's smoke, is there fire?

One bonus is you might be able to use less down payments as you move forward since investment loans might require 20-30% down and owner/occupied loans might require nothing down...or 3-5%...depending on where you buy and your income.

I am happy to get market tenant calls as well, however, there is a bad credit problem and area demographics at play. 

The added bonus of an apartment. 2 units for the price of one!
