Additionally, many FTHB programs are stringent with how much income your household is allowed to generate in order to qualify. 

It is a path likely to generate legal fees for years. 

The last thing I want to do is make a move on a property that's in a market that barely sees any appreciation AND only generates small rents-no matter how brand new everything inside the house maybe.I'm new to Atlanta.

Sorry if this is painfully obvious to toehrs - I'm just starting out - but are loans generated by cash out refinancing typically at much lower rates than the initial conventional or commercial loans through which rental properties are typically purchased? 

Actual income production is not a requirement - but generating income is a  very strong indicator of your intent to hold it for investment. 

This will not work and apps will just help you generate minimal activity that you don't have time to respond to anyway so I would spend more time figuring out how much time you can square away for REI.

Then in a year or two you move out of your current primary and convert it into investment  And you move into your investment property you exchanged into and convert it into your new primary residence.Done right this entire thing would not generate any tax burden for you. 

Generational wealth is only achievable by owning assets.

That becomes your kicking around money along with whatever rental income you're generating. 

Hello BP fam, wanted to see who would share some insight on what it actually takes to be successful in the real estate business as far as lead generation goes.
