Hi @Griffin Goudreau, There is no statutory holding period. 

From the little I know, it seems to lean heavier towards a full time role, especially in the trainee period which would be 2 years in the wonderful state of TN, which from what I could tell would be under my current pay.

It was 20 years ago , so when the second best time , the time is now ,, The key is action , action and action , pa f you wait till you know everything , you will never gets started becuz theirs always something else that comes up , Ask anybody that’s been doing it for any period of time , and 9 outta 10 will tell their was always something going on that people where tellingthem they shouldn’t invest , either you invest or you don’t, you can’t do both !

TODAY -before the sun sets - send/post a Notice To CURE to the TENANT (not the son) for allowing non-lease disclosed persons to reside at the property; in your state, the cure period is 3 days ("1161(2)).

You are required to supply the three (3) earnest money deposits and the three (3) option monies by day 3 to the Title company - this is part of your contract, whether you fulfil the contract or back out during your option period.

What do you think is going to happen in the next 18-24 months period, how will the market act, and where would be best to invest under these circumstances? 

Im currently in the option period(inspection is today).

Over this period, they brought me 5 or 6 deals, got into contract on one but cancelled after DD.

I also wasn't aware of the 6 month waiting period for doing a refinance after buying with cash.

Most states require a grace period of a few days before the Landlord can even charge late fees.
