@Richard Hodges moving to another market to get started in REI is somewhat of old thinking.  

PP of $225,000 25+ years old, all being 2bd/1.5ba, with rent at $2,400/mo.  

I work 6-2:30 M-F so that gives me plenty of time in the afternoon to learn about the world of investing.

@Andrew Postell yes I am using an exchange company and they verified that yes the replacement property does have to go into the same name the old property was in.

A little background about me: I'm a 24-year-old university graduate making a decent salary, but don't have much at all in my savings.

Online, anyone can find this sold price, but we can see the old listing and information, so it's a bit more concise.

I am 22, and my wife is 20 years old, we have about $16,000 saved up, and would like to start investing in real estate, to build wealth for us now, and for our future.

I am a 20 year old currently own a triplex looking for an FHA Loan.

I’m 34 years old, grew up in the Philippines, emigrated in the US when I was 21.

@Donna Ryngala Any attempt to circumvent owner occupancy agreements - which you will sign at closing - could set you up for a charge of mortgage fraud.I'm not the world's foremost expert on this, but I do believe that the new home must be your primary residence, including being your mailing address.Talk with your lender to be sure you understand the requirements.
