I've had it 20 years and I plan on keeping it.  

I will keep you informed along the way if you like?

Keep an eye on rates as if rates fall you can renogotiate the rate if interest rates fall enough. 

Staying with quest trust for now and looking at maybe IRA financial or uDirect in the future.Trying to balance keeping the cost low, having that checkbook control, and still having a team to help educate me.I am not turning enough over at this moment to warrant a change...and I am still figuring out how to partner with my LLC if at possible.

I'm going to connect with you so we keep in touch :)I appreciate the response.

It'll be tough to get into a pure investment in your area for 35k but here are a few options:- partner on the second deal- if the numbers make sense and you could get more cashflow then you could look at a higher price point but my guess is this will be difficult to find- Buy your first property as planned, and save the 35k as reserves and/or just keep it for the next down payment on another FHA after a year- find a place that needs some work where you can use that money to fix up and force appreciation to the propertyPersonally, I would look at those last 2 options where you have the cash on hand ready to deploy for the next down payment or rehab costs if needed.

For the most part this is to "keep up with the joneses" and impress the customer.  

I keep telling him that we’ll need to jump on something once the flip is done otherwise we’ll be paying more in taxes.
