I could come up with a down payment for an investment property in a different state easier than my home state at prices are pretty high in the 300-400 k just for townhomes.

My wife and I recently inherited a home, which we took possession of earlier this year. 

They can go to their second home or buy another.

They’re requesting what feels like an unreasonable amount of information, and the demands keep escalating.So far, they’ve asked for:A video tour of my home officeCredit checks on me and my partnerCopies of the deeds for every property we ownA copy of my partner’s home lease and utility billsBusiness phone billsA signed letter from the bank verifying our accountsBank statementsHonestly, it feels more like qualifying for a loan than trying to become a customer.

A majority of people who rent homes here have 100% equity in them so any rent will cash flow. 

We're currently renting downtown and looking to get started as first-time home buyers in an owner-occupied duplex situation to start our path in rei. 

Class B- midway between Class A and C, school are decent but may or may not be highly ratedClass C - lower purchase prices, schools aren't usually highly rated, higher crime, lower income tenants and homeowners, mix of well maintained and badly maintained yards, streets have run down cars, some homes with boarded up windows, mix of renovated and older homes.

I recently purchased my home in October 2023 (before starting my real estate investing journey), so I don’t yet have access to any substantial equity.

I’m currently available to take on more cohosted homes, so if you or someone you know is in need of support, I’d love to help!

Another thing I wish I had done differently in my own home.
