If anyone has any advice on how I should try to get a solid mortgage or how to leverage my first time home buyer benefits, please reach out.

@Jay Samudio great advice from @Melanie P.Also, in our 24 years of experience, a tenant that has to get emergency relief typically ends up behind on rent again very soon.Be sure the tenant cooperates with providing documentation explaining why they fell behind and that the problem is highly unlikely to repeat.If they won't cooperate and state, "none of your business', then what does that tell you?

@Savannah Yingling @Laura StaytonThank you for the advice!

I'd be happy to provide more detailed advice.

Hopefully with your potential 1031 you have gotten some tax advice on how to defer or plan for a gain...

Good advice except some states don't allow flexibility with the security deposit. 

I need some advice on a situation.I have a section 8 tenant who did not pay rent, was served a notice to quit by a Marshall.

My market is one of the most expensive in the country and I wanted to ask the BP community any advice you have with investing in a market where prices tend to be on the higher side (Ex: most multifamilies are north of 700,000 -1.5 million).

Thank you this is the advice I’m looking for. 

No interest in finding my own leads for off-market houses, so I'd rather pay a finder's fee to a wholesaler than going down that road.I'm looking for advice on finding credible wholesalers to work with.
