I just want to start with my first home, live in one room and rent out the rest to roomies, or live at home with my parents and still rent out to a family.

Hahaa, no worries, I'll be moving, but my parents still live here, and I'll be doing business here, so it (literally) will be my "home away from home."

Avoid textbook authors like Philip Kotler.One more thing perhaps: Kim Kiyosaki once told the story of how a 12 year old got her first apartment with 'no money down' (actually, a loan from the parents).

This property for Burger King could have been a individual franchisee store, a larger franchisee, a subsidiary group of parent corp Burger King ,or a guarantee from Burger King itself.

When they say their parents sent it and it will be there any day... don't go look, ill save you the embarrassment I went through.

I know previously people have said be careful parenting with contractors but i know this is the right thing to do, I just want to make sure it makes sense? 

I always wondered why they tipped better than my parents' teacher buddies :)Yeah, 600 :)

I have a deal I am working on that has a motivated group selling their parents house.

Even within the same city you can have multiple school districts or even city/county schools and most parents will only make the switch during summer months.

I figured that this would be a good last stop before paying for a real estate attorney consultation.My wife's parents are buying us a condo for our move to Miami.
