In a town with lower incomes but two blocks from main street with shops and restaurants. 6.

Have a local bank providing the loan, have my son moving into the lower level so I got an FHA 3.5% loan and the property is valued at 220k. 

I’m going to try to get it lower but no higher then 145k.

Living in a basement sucks, and rent is lower as a result, and turnover higher.

Also, my husband especially, would like for us to move into more "hands off" investments even if that means somewhat lower returns.I have seen Delaware Statutory Trusts advertised as a vehicle for investing 1031 funds.

It looks like she's already paying more than the ARV, so I would suggest trying get a bit lower on the asking price and budget at least $10,000 reserves up front for unexpected surprises. 

This would be an alternative (and lower amount) to the predetermined amount they would contribute toward each semester of college tuition.

I don’t plan on purchasing this property as I am due to move and be out of the country here soon, but when I get back into the lower 48 I am planning on taking more action on potential deals.

Big, as in, selling your home, selling car(s), negotiating your credit cards to not just a lower payment, but a deal on how much is owed. 

Listing this as a problem because I don’t want to be over eager and lower my credit score unnecessarily.
