Sure, the "fun" factor might be lower, but you have to make sacrifices in life to succeed and get out of the rat race. 

But here are all the details straight from the horse's mouth: https://www.fanniemae.com/content/guide/selling/b2...The article you reference mentions rehab costs being included in the refinancing but that's not listed in the Fannie guidelines: "The new loan amount can be no more than the actual documented amount of the borrower's initial investment in purchasing the property plus the financing of closing costs, prepaid fees, and points on the new mortgage loan."

Looking for a way out the rat race and real estate is looking the most prominent any meetings, advice or starting point. 

Federal Fair Housing regards discrimination based on race, color, national origin, religion, gender, familial status or age, and disability.

For instance, lets say you don't want to rent to a certain race, or people with kids, or any other protected class.

In fact, during the recording we had to push him a bit (you can hear real estate mogul and former child actor Jack Easton having laughing fits in the background).Since I don't have a horse in this race as to whether someone believes they can get all the training they need by reading online social media for free. 

We are working with our builder to come up with more exact numbers so we have definitive numbers to work a deal with a new VC, and then it's off to the races. 

We want to start buying and holding in the south Florida area but we have minimal experience in this this space (primarily wholesalers up to this point) though we have had some success in wholesaling we see it as more of a job and are looking to get out of the rat race of life, were looking for any tips and any investors in the south Florida area who would like to connect, chat, or maybe have a lunch to talk real estate.   

As for me, I am raring to go, ready to get my feet wet, but I keep telling myself that it is NOT a race.

@Alison Koenig If you can find a deal in Saratoga Springs, NY near the horse race track, you will have a very profitable vacation rental.
