@Ryan Thomson I agree about education being huge especially for someone new like me who doesn’t know what they don’t know and thanks!

@Blake Carlile good choice!

You can search for rentals to get an idea of what rents look like in your area of choice.

@Ryan ThomsonI could avoid this by refinancing my FHA Loan, correct?
