I'm very new to MTR and investing in general, but I'd like to know if even close to being on the right track!

The bank I work at would require the property to be close by.

We are closing on a 2/1 condo tomorrow with a small fenced backyard and a metal storage shed.

Otherwise they just run around and bid projects for people that don't close.

After 5 years in the business I’m starting to get a few word of mouth referrals which is how I closed my last property which was my first off market deal.

Perhaps the most consequential transaction involving creative financing solutions was a recent closing for a 20+ unit apartment complex in downtown Eugene. 

If you feel the need to explain why you hit the "reject" button, you could add to any of those: We are closing this leasing process by rejecting all remaining applications in the queue. 

Our lot is fenced in and we cannot see where he lives but close enough to be of concern, but we want to stay in the same town until the kids are finished school.So, my question is this, would it make sense to rent our home (roughly $2300-2500/mo. as per real-estate agent claims), with the stipulation that the garage is used for my business AND buy a home nearby?

It's close to home.

@Anthony Finelli check your mortgage paperwork for the Truth-In-Lending form to find your APR.APR is your effective interest rate including interest, MIP and closing costs.If you can refinance the rental at a cheaper rate than the APR, then you should!
