Ill be putting 20% down but again not sure best way to leverage my money as far as if I'm able to claim as second home or investment home and putting 10% or 20% down.

If I purchase it and have it actively managed by a property management company, Ill currently be looking at a net monthly income of about $200, after all expenses, interest and mortgage are paid.

Not sure why, but Ill keep an eye out and let you know if I run across anything within the next few days.

Ill end up paying 500 a month. and living 8 minutes to work.i Currently live 50 minutes away and commute almost 2 hours a day and pay 725 a month.155k for property169k loan including closing cost and 3% for realtor. 1,300 per month Mortgage payment with everything included

My partner and I took the market’s offering to the extreme and found ourselves having to “mistake-sale” our way out of some early ill-advised investment purchases. - The downtown building without a roof was sold to someone more qualified to renovate - Vinyl-siding made the dilapidated duplexes look a million times better and find an out-of-town buyer- We rented the Grovetown properties so someone else could develop them laterIt’s hard to overstate how fortunate we were in the unraveling of our assets.

Im not sure if Ill be in the area nor have enough cash reserves to invest.

Ill keep you posted.

We've used a co-signer twice, with mixed results.In one case it was a grandparent who owned a house, but we didn't know that she was terminally ill. 

Ill look into this for sure and maybe see you at the next one!
