If your brain isn't shooting sparks right now screaming "oooh OOoooh OOOHHH, where's the opportunity, oh i bet I could..." then this is NOT your thing. 

You don't know how to in hard times, and I bet you can just get by on normal times. 

Keep the lines of communication open, and don't hesitate to stay on top of the progress (and costs) as things move forward.It sounds like you’re in some great areas!

Of the options I’ve purchased, a majority expired unexercised, mainly because they were “flyers” for me on a bet on a beneficial event happening that wasn’t likely to happen.

@Syed Lateef I guess if you bargain a bit ABT would be a good bet but I find it hard to believe they have the best pricing.

Not really making any progress.

Finding the right property can take time, but it's worth it.Good luck, and feel free to share your progress or ask questions.

If you are, I recommend buying a small multifamily and house hack to reduce your largest living expense while building equity.I recommend talking to a lender (i can connect you with one) about the income fluctuation and see how much you can qualify.Your best bet is to get a owner occupied loan with 30 yr fixed rate.

Excited to hear about the progress of it.
