The market has a lot of strong points right now: affordable entry prices, great rent-to-price ratios, and high demand for rentals, especially in the Section 8 space.What’s even more exciting is the direction Detroit is heading.

I would advise you to save up and purchase a house.I'd look for a lower end inexpensive house you can afford and make it a LTR.

Affordable housing? 

They will need to figure out for themselves if they can afford the increase.

Instead:401(k) loans: They’re low-interest, and you’re paying yourself back.Roth rollovers If you can afford the taxes now, this gives future flexibility.Creative financing: I’ve seen clients leverage partnerships or seller financing to limit retirement fund withdrawals.One thing to consider: real estate markets today are vastly different from a decade ago.. so opportunities may require extra creativity.Have you looked into specific deals yet?

It's affordable and offers strong cash flow potential.

I like big TVs because they almost require 0 maintenance and are pretty affordable 

They needed a lot of work and we have been able to get them at a price that allowed us to afford the repairs.

Im pretty torn up about this.I cant afford the loss buy it seems inevitable, and the SEC is a joke.
