Now, pair this strategy with the concept of house hacking, where you live in the property and rent out rooms to cover your mortgage expenses.

For example, an employee of mine bought a cabin to live in in 2014 for $42K.

Mostly hype and VERY little substance, I was quite disappointed to find their rates and terms are a lot worse than what I already accomplish as a money broker. 

@Dave KushIf someone calls me when I am on the dnc list I am gonna make their life a living hell.I will hire a VA to spam the hell out of them and teach them a lesson.

Secondly the I wanted to obtain the property with no or little money down in other words FHA but I don’t live in the area nor do I work remote. 

If there are any real estate investors on here that live in Fort Worth, Texas, would y'all like to meet up?

Our family of 3 plan to live in one unit and rent out the other.

We lived in the property for two years while we slowly renovated interior, landscaping, as well as resurfacing the pool, and added privacy with a new fence.

My plan is to use the grant to purchase  a duplex  and live in one side for free or close to it.

I live in and invest in Tampa so I’m biased but you truly can’t go wrong in either market, Tampa is going to be a little better on the appreciation side and Orlando will offer slightly better cash flow opportunity whether it’s multi family, single family or short term rental.
