I have a client that i have been working with for the past 6 months clearing title on a piece of land and we finally closed yesterday.

You guys hit the nail on the head.  

This journey has been VERY trying at times.My first commercial bank got bought out and would no longer loan to out of state investors.My second bank wanted 25% down, plus 6 months worth of reserves for the properties, plus 6 months worth of reserves for my other properties, plus 6 months worth of reserves for my primary residence (even though it was a commercial loan), plus 6 months worth of my credit card payments, plus the tax returns of the seller, plus the lease agreements with the current tenants.A third broker I was dealing with didn't understand for some reason I wanted it to be a commercial loan even though I repeatedly told him so.A fourth banker finally got it, was responsive, and reasonable.

She was having the time of her life because her family was finally paying attention to her - they were all afraid she was going to end up at their house.  

Hello guys, well after a few years of lurking and getting ready to jump in. I'm ready to pick up my first duplex via an fha loan I plan to use the house hacking method. How ever I'm having a hard time finding a invest...

I've always been interested in real estate and at this point in my life I've finally decided to take the plunge.

I have had some reservations about getting started in the past but I am finally breaking out of my shell and realizing that there is no time like the present. 

If you are a good judge of character a face to face meeting with the management company to ask some basic questions as well as a drive through to check the maintenance standards of the community will help you make the final determination.

(Side note, neither my tenant nor I slept in our apartments until the final fumigation so it's been 3 weeks.

I finally decided to complete the documentation myself and then had our attorney review it prior to submitting.
