What peaked you interest in REI? How did you get started? How did you finance your first deal?

I have evenings and weekends available and am willing to take some vacation/sick days from work to accomplish goals until I'm able to make the break from the job a permanent one.I currently am limited on out of pocket funding, but do have some knowledge and ideas on how to obtain funding.So I thought I would ask others out here in the BiggerPockets land some questions on how you got started, what got you interested in REI and how did you finance your first REI transactions?

Wood burning fireplace- looking for advice

Because it is permanently closed with drywall (as opposed to just locking the front cover), people don't even start to ask if they could maybe reopen it.Most people don't realize that a fireplace will suck a lot of warm air out of the house in the winter, especially on a windy day. closing it up airtight with drywall is probably the single biggest energy saving measure you can take - at least on par with new windows and a full attic insulation.

Assuming an FHA Loan - PMI Carried Over/Able to be Removed?
4 August 2014 | 7 replies
As a quick correction, the PMI can be dropped at 78% LTV after 5 years, not 80% (20% paid down).The PMI counter is based on the origination date of the loan as well, this does not reset one the loan is assumed.Originally posted by @Joseph Zanazan: Beginning in June 2013 , the FHA moved away from its LTV-based system.Just as a quick clarification on this, the FHA hasn't moved away from an LTV based system post June 2013, they have just changed the length of PMI to permanent if you are putting down less than 10%, and if you are putting more than 10% you can have the PMI removed after 11 years.
