I've invested in just about everything except real estate up until now.

In addition, in the area we mailed the houses were built in the late 70s early 80s with a few exceptions.

@Andy Robison ....To be honest, I haven't had a lot of maintenance problems except for a water heater about a year ago.

I don't have a recommendation for you except to say do your research.

A landlord has no greater liability with a visually impaired tenant than any other except as to Dawn pointing out that improvements may be made and such become your responsibility for maintenance if they become a part of the property.

Estimated sales prices range from $105k-$125k from various realtors (all realtors who have price opinion are out of market except one local guy)Comps in the neighborhood are too old to use (only one house has sold since 2010).

Hello everyone,For owner occupied mortgages, are there any exceptions?

Once I'm debt free (except maybe the house) and have about $20K saved up, then I'll be happy to jump in.

Then if I were going to lease to them, I'd use a standard one year lease that is automatically renewable except for 'cause' for one additional year.

Duncan thanks for your time I'm so new and eager .They do all of that, except examining the original deed, as part of a title search.In the old days that used to mean sending some poor intern or law student down to the court house to physically walk the title.
