Am I missing anything on my overall thesis that Roanoke/Salem is a good emerging market for RE investors in Virginia?

My wife and I both work in medical field and both have big DREAM becoming financially independent.

Not someone with an online printed ESA certificate, but someone with a real medical condition and real medical professional who will show up in court.

If it's in the right area, there's longer str options too like for traveling medical personnel, etc.

I'm recently medically retired from the Federal Government after 20 years of service.

You know that he has not abandoned the property but rather in the hospital receiving medical care.

They said it's still carrying about a $30k note from when the mom refi-d some cash out to pay for medical bills.

WHAT THE LAW PROVIDES:When you record a Declaration of Homestead, Nevada law protects a set amount of equity in your home established per NRS 115, from general creditor claims (unpaid medical bills, bankruptcy, charge card debts, business/personal loans, accidents) but would not preclude a seizure or forced sale of your residence from general creditors if your equity exceeds the maximum equity allowed.

It just seems when you're young, the value of a $1 invested today can yield pretty good income 10+ years later.I think I'd finance at a rate so I have some pad for emergencies (say (expenses + debt)/income is <80%) and some reserves.The goal is to make the property stand on its own and NOT throw outside money and to make sure there is no recourse to anything else you own.

Hello all,I'm in my mid-20s, and have saved up enough to purchase up to around 300k property with FHA loan, and have a few months emergency fund left over.For a while I've had the idea of purchasing a duplex or triplex, and occupying one of the units, letting the other unit(s) cover the mortgage/taxes while I pour what I'd be paying into rent into savings for the next property.
