(I asked the same thing in another forum here on bigger pockets, since this forum is for bankers and lenders… No better way to find out, then to hear straight from the horses mouth)

I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth like most you investors I started with nothing and know what it takes to make something out of nothing I'm 25 I own my own home and 2 apartment buildings have flipped 4 houses not to mention building and selling 5 hot rods.

i have to constantly put myself in check because when i see the houses going up in the south and the prices, my mouth drops.

As the 80s management books always stressed, I am sticking to my core competency, and I've never been happier.

You'll be happier when it's over and you have working capital to fund your next purchase. 

I'd much rather that vs. her get a bad taste in her mouth about me and muddy my reputation.

I'm planning on going to the city to get it from the horses mouth but I was hoping for some input/advice from experienced investors prior to opening up that can of worms.

We got 2 of our deals through that effort, another from word of mouth from one of our sellers, and another from a tax deed auction.

If you want to take thier (Fannie Mae Mtg managers) word for it and whimp out every time some jerk at Fannie Mae, opens thier mouth like some God, go right ahead, swallow it hook line and sinker!

But the question for me is if financially I will be happier in five years from purchasing a live in building or if I would be happier for buying more units with better cash flow outside of the city….
