My question is, would owner financing be an option for me over the next three years where I can continue to live in the house and pay down the ultimate purchase price and refinance at the end of my tour so I could keep the house long term as a buy and hold type rental where the numbers work out for me.

For the last four years we had a stable economy, unemplyment keeps getting lower, continued low interest rates (anything below 8% is low) and a social trend towards renting (although millenials have started buying as of late).

I want someone with proven success with style, content and timing to do a turn key campaign. 

There is a lot of revitalization going strong in areas, while the city continues to expand outward!

And in a catastrophic downturn you can lose a property or two and not hurt your retirement life style. 

I didn’t take the time to go to any mortgage companies after my wife was told in a real estate continued education class that the mortgage company didn’t do anything lower that $50,000.

For me, it is a single family ranch style home with 2/3 beds and 1.5/2 baths that smells funny and needs the carpet ripped out.

I see many investors saying they are buying properties with no cash-flow or even a negative cash-flow because they predict the market will continue to grow and they'll eventually gain a cash-flow and build equity.

Once you get your income boost you’ll be golden for debt pay down and to continue investing.

If it is tan get 4x4 tubmled traveltine (tan color called walnut) install on diagonal direction with some 2x2 dark brown inserts like metal finish.Another suggestion is to run a row of 4x4 tubled travertine the2" border on top of that then continue 4x4" tubled travertine in diagonal direction!
