So what if you can’t leave your fha multi family for 2 years due to finances?

Looking at my first property and there is a severely intense odor in the basement (concrete) and some slight orders on the other levels of the house as well (hardwood floors and carpet).

Now they are screwed - every time they fill out an application, for their next rental, to buy anything on credit (like a car) or buying a house...this Judgement will pop up and they will be denied.

Investigate government programs such as HUD, USDA, and FHA loans, select investment techniques such as house hacking, turnkey homes, or purchase and hold, and assess properties using tools such as Grants.gov, HUD.gov, and BiggerPockets.Good luck!

The best thing you can do for your future is leave it right where it is.

And others want a big yard for the family and to not be 15 feet away from the house right next to you.Now, that's all fine information.

Worst house in neighborhood.

Assuming the area is on the up and up Lake Property will always trend in the right direction because of the limited supply around the lake.I am in Chicago, but my father bought a lake house sw of Louisville and I think it's at least doubled in value.With your background as an electrician this sounds like a no brainer!

Seattle has become more lenient on ADU regulations because of the housing shortage. 

A few things that jump out at me, in addition to @Don Konipol Comments…-$1,500/yr for insurance on 8 houses (less than $200 each)?
