A little background, I own about 9.4 acres in Hermitage, PA where I house hacked the property.

That way we would never allow our housing and banking system to teeter on the precipice of complete failure, because, well, they are licensed and professional and the govt is looking out for the consumer, right? 

My purchasing power can afford me a house down there and I also work in South Jersey (Cherry Hill) and live in central jersey.

We have our house rules mentioned in our listing, as well that the guests must sign a rental agreement also.Knock on wood, so far no issues.Mike

I am a strictly ground up developer.

Both larger 5 bed houses near BSU. 

I like the area and wanted to use the house as a vacation home.

I am in the process of buying a venue with 15 cabins and was wondering if I decided to live there. Could I get a conventional loan on the property? The interest rates are crazy, and most term limits are 15 to 20 years...

I believe that the hardest part is the first house.  

My sister had my parents' house passed down to her in a quick claim deed, which is also fully paid off Zestimate ~$420K, but she does have some "good debt", roof/windows for house $50K and car payments for her car and my mother's $25K= total debt $75K.
