Save for 7-8 months and get my 20% down of 10k on it and go to a bank which isn't my favorite option or maybe since I was reading on here that life insurance company's have a very low interest rate and like to invest in multi family buildings that would be another good option.

I could be short $450 for a month or two until I rent out the back unit (I have savings I could cover the rest of the mortgage with), but after the back one is rented I could have a little cash flow- at least enough to save for upcoming repairs, etc.

Besides, I'm a newbie and many investors disapproved of this deal the last time I posted it at BP.A few days later, to save my friend from an unprofitable deal, I ask her to buy a house for herself since she's not into it for profit but to seek a bigger shelter than her condo.

I will graduate in December and I've got capital saved up from being very fortunate and not having to pay for school because of my football scholarship.

there are two types of houses in FL. those that have termites, and those that will have termites. get a professional to figure out which type of termite you have. they will tent or trench (or both) the house. you can trench and protect yourself if you want to save the cost.

Hi everyone, I wanted to throw out a question and get some ideas/feedback back from you guys.Trying to soak up as much information as possible before I make my first purchase If you had to start from the beginning,  and you had $50,000 cash to invest, and your ultimate goal was to quit your day job and do this for a living within the next 5-10 yrs, how would you invest?
