Looking at the world and wondering just how am I going to get my piece of it, tooth and nail?

Worst piece of parental advice in human history!

please rememberi am not a developeri am a crazy guy who owns a few pieces of real estate and has crazy dreams.

However, don't expect to get much more than a person who collects rent, interacts with the other tenants, and puts eyes and ears on the park.

Double pane and low-e are good options too.

It also may throw off our debt to income ratio, even if it's cashflowing nicely, because from what I've read, many lenders will not consider rental income until it has been established for two years, and we may be looking for a personal home in under two years.Anywho, if anyone has any comments or suggestions about purchasing an investment property when you're < 3 years away from buying a home for yourself, I'm all ears!

So if anyone has any legit opportunities out there I'm all ears for it.

We have my mother in my ear but I don't think she is the best source of information.

@Sam EppersonI'll keep my ears to the ground!  

If you finance using a 5 to 10 year piece of paper you could lose the property because the price went down at the wrong time or didn't go up.
