I feel the need to write an article on this, since in many of these conversations folks were mixing the financial ratios up between rental and for-sale project types.

Let's say I wanted to buy a house. My first rental property but I don't have the 20% to put down for it. Would I be able to get a FHA loan and only have to  put down 3.5% and have a "Partner" Fund the down payment for...

We're active in central Ohio and have a mixed-use project in development outside Athens...really enjoy SE Ohio...typically there once a week.

@Jim K.I get a mix too.

Hi Dana,hhhhhhhhmmmm, if it were me I would seriously look at the option of adding more than one investment mix into my strategy to build my portfolio.

Hi @James York -- Welcome to BiggerPockets.You're asking a good question, but "mixing" two different strategies. 

You get a mix of idea and even could have local speakers come in an discuss topics.

Your plan is to alleviate your mortgage by mixing it with your alimony payment? 

Hi Ronnie,Here is my two cents:- great idea to find out why the people who took a pass did so-when I see the pics I get a mixed message: why does it look like someone already lives here, why is there a towel hanging in the bathroom like someone just took a shower, is this a rental with the furniture included?
