Best bet is to talk to your accountant or to find one.

With that strategy in mind, your best bet is likely to get a conventional, owner-occupied loan so you can put as little as 3.5-5% down.

Everyone stay safe and BLESSED! 

I realized buying a home in C class neighborhood is a nightmare, but I took a bet on upcoming growth due to Tesla and maybe it worked as home appreciated by 20-25 % in last 7 months. 

Keep cash on hand and hide it somewhere safe for all of the unexpected issues coming your way. 

My bet in MA is that you won't get a judge to agree to more then a month if this went to court.

At worst we would have a tangible asset that produces 1k a month in rent and our money would be safe as inevitable inflation lifts housing prices to the moon.

My employees told me during depositions was asked what the owner did all day, what did he do to ensure safe operations.

But lots reasons why you may live in an area may actually be because of factors we consider for investing (consistent population growth, growing infrastructure, safe neighborhoods, etc.)

Rates are at a historical low and I think its safe to assume that rents will continue to increase overtime.
