This requires a great deal of trust that other people will handle your money with care and with sights on profitability.Do some research, but limit yourself to a given time period.  

I mean LOVE a good fight especially when it's based on principles, sometimes it doesn't make sense (or dollars!)

loldont lose sight of the end game which is ultimately making money.  

I have heard mixed thoughts on this from so called "gurus' stating that you can market a property as long as you are principle in the transaction and have equitable interest.

I know each state is a bit different, but I was wondering if anyone know the legality in Maryland of getting a house under lease option (as the principle in the deal), then assigning the lease and option to a tenant buyer for a fee.Anyone have any experience with this is the DC/MD/VA area.

I would suggest either staying in your principle residence or investing in another SFH but NOT moving into it and NOT going the route of living in a duplex (or similar scenario) because:a) For your principal residence all your capital gains that you have accumulated up to $500k (since your married) are TAX FREE.  

Do you think you are part of the elite, or are you part of the best side of the Pareto's Principle?

I am set on rehab, I don't have a property in sight yet. but what im asking is as someone whose making a little above min wage with mediocre credit 600's how low would a property have to be before I could be approved by myself with the cash and 203k approved on hand.

My cash flow is negative -$421.41 on this property. principle balance is $90k. is rented with a long term tenant.I am thinking of paying the mortgage off. 

I must say that I'm jealous of the Germany station though...I'm living out in Clovis, NM now with no end in sight haha.
