.  :-)   Rents are very high right now and in most cases a mortgage is considerably less per month.I and my clients are buying in a growing area of Charleston right now and we have faith in it for at least another 3 years.  

i seem to agree, @Jessie Tetreault stated the taxes seem a bit off, but otherwise the numbers work for you then pull the trigger, keep posting but most of all keep sharing

She spent last weekend touring different properties for consideration and at every open house she listened to people talking about BP and "househacking". 

Say a deal lands in my lap tomorrow, and I have everything in place to pull the trigger on it.

DO NOT ACCEPT MONEY = BEST PRACTICE.Health can be a consideration (I have seen it personally with my own properties) but it would have to be debilitating condition involving health and family services or some other agency to have any adverse impact on the overall posture of the proceedings.The entrance of a judgment and/or order of possession does not depend on his presence. 

I'm ready to pull the trigger as soon as I find the right deal!

I'm eager to learn about it and I'm not in a hurry to pull any triggers yet.

In my opinion, its "analysis paralysis"... just find good deals where the numbers make sense, regardless of location and pull the trigger before others find out about the deal. 

If you've been preparing to do this for the past couple of years and you haven't pulled the trigger yet, it sounds like you are stuck in Analysis Paralysis. 

This is risky too, though, since it could trigger the "due on sale" clause and the bank would have the right to then call the loan due if they wanted to.
