To add to that, I really like How the Mighty Fall, and Good to Great, both by Jim Collins, as well as The Essential Drucker, by Peter Drucker. 

I did not realize that if I were not house hacking and living in the home, it would fall under investment terms for a loan.The property is listed at $350,000. 

You'll be shocked on the range of prices you get for the same work from different contractors, and you need to know what somebody else will quote if your first contractor falls out. 

Just as @Joe Villeneuve mentioned, properties with manufactured homes do not fall under the same financing category has SFHs.

No one knows if rates will fall lower, No one who is a real professional can give you that this will happen.

We are in MA so lock down is in place but relators fall under essential business.  

I spent a few months in Providence last fall and I was living in an Airbnb place in Elmhurst, very close to PC.

Don’t even think of this.Based on the dramatic fall from 2008 to 2010, and the number of lenders and flippers who went under, now is a great time to sit tight, learn, and watch, Yasmine.

Which means, that if you lock the rate, and the rates fall at least .25% lower or more, the lender has a program to float you down to the new lower rate?

I'm adding a 60-day conventional financing contingency to help ensure that we have plenty of time to do our due diligence and I have a safe cushion in reserves in case the tenants fall on hard times.
