You need to build relationships with others and determine your own best path, but don't let your pre conditioned beliefs hold you back

Likely, your partner will have to sign paperwork to submit the offer.

@Donna Ryngala Any attempt to circumvent owner occupancy agreements - which you will sign at closing - could set you up for a charge of mortgage fraud.I'm not the world's foremost expert on this, but I do believe that the new home must be your primary residence, including being your mailing address.Talk with your lender to be sure you understand the requirements.

I'm determined to at least have my first physical property before 2018, but it's extremely frustrating when you feel like you're doing the right things and yet...nothing.

There is no plan, there is no determination.99.9% of successful real estate investors raise money by approaching family, friends and others with a niche and written plan. 

Don't be surprised when you're filling out a personal financial statement, that you'll probably be asked to sign a full-recourse loan, etc.

You can't take 8 SFRs that happen to be next to each other and try to apply an income-based appraisal method to determine value.

My questions is for the next tenant I want to add some things to my lease.1) 2 month rent penalty if they break the lease2) When they sign the lease they pay me damage deposit and 1st month's rent which is non refundable if they break the lease.

A contract that is fully executable should not be waivable after being signed, else why sign a contract.

Signed,Please help, this is my future!!!!
