If I remember correctly, one would have to be classified as secondary home triggering a higher level of scrutiny and potentially a higher interest rate.

But, here's some more detail - . we're using a licensed roofer. 1 story, ranch but with a steeper than usual  roof for a ranch.  . removal of the existing shingles and torch on (improper use). not including the sheathing/fascia/dry rot cost bc it's unknown how much if any will need replacement. 

They are wrong, but you have to wet it and then let it dry.  

I started paying off my higher rate and higher risk loans after I hit my unit goal and low hanging fruit (abundant opportunity to buy more) dried up.

Find a property that you like and pull the trigger, get an appraisal and if it's close, close the deal!

Townhomes are great as rentals in Seattle because who doesn't love a cut and dry rental?

If things the students dried up, a lot of the money would as well.

If you read Goldsmiths excellent book "triggers" he suggest a similar tool for end of day accountability.One point I'd disagree with that the OP made is making outcome based goals like "sold this" or "bought this".

I have drowned myself in books, blogs and podcasts for several months and its time to make my first deal happen but this has been the one thing that has kept me from actually pulling the trigger.

I also had an abusive step father who would suck any money dry if she did save any.
