Save your money, no new cars, no wasting your cash consuming new CRAP...invest!

Hi @Kenneth McCormick,Inter-generational wealth by keeping the real estate "in the family" is much stronger in the SF Bay Area than most places, so I've become an accidental expert in this due to consumer demand.You actually checked all the boxes to be able to get the best financing deal possible:- Owner occupant.- Immediate family is seller.- Lots of equity in the deal.

It is a great option if real estate becomes more time consuming.

Some people will disagree with that and tell you to pay off consumer debt completely before investing.

I don't see many situations where the consumer wins.

Register with the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection.

Demand has still generally outpaced supply here.As for your tax strategy, being out of state puts you at a disadvantage for homestead exemption AND the likelihood that you would protest your taxes is low.. being that it's time consuming for you to be present for the hearing.  

NMLS like meor Consumer finance license which i dont have.. 

I have a pretty thorough process of analysis which, though time consuming, has provided a great deal of market familiarity and insight to the single-family market through the majority of the zip codes in the area. 

In residential, you're burdened with all the rules and regs regarding owner occupied and consumer loans.
