The style home ime looking for is pretty rare in the Poconos but there are a few and they do very well, that's why ime considering building. 

I have worked with many REITs and they will rarely work with you to do something called drop and swap for 1031 exchange. 

Should I be patient and wait for a good four-plex to come on the market to house hack using FHA, should I use an adjustable rate in-house bank loan with 15% down to purchase a four-plex in a different area further from my job, should I save up more cash to purchase and rehab a BRRRR, or should I combine some of these options and use all my savings to invest in both a four-plex with a 15% down in-house bank loan while also purchasing a good four-plex with FHA when one comes up?

My mom and I would be taking these loans out together and our combined debt-income ratio is not great, at the moment she has high debt and I have low income.

It’s very rare that a desirable applicant will score lower than low 600’s.

Any advice about ratio's or numbers to look at when combining personal assets for your real estate investments?

You can serve it at any point in the month, but it starts with the next 1st and then the tenant has to the end of that month to move out.Option 3 is cash for keys, maybe in combination with a 28 day notice.

I have been looking into investing in a rental property in Wyoming recently, based on lower housing costs and property taxes combined with reasonable comparable rental rates.
