The first obstacle will be the current lender being OK with the idea. 

Hey Sunny,I'm also looking to use a 203K loan to get a property in NYC but the loan limits is the obstacle in getting multi family homes.

I've recently committed to growing a real estate investing business and, like all of us, have stumbled across a couple of obstacles.

I am still in the initial stages of building up a passive cash flow, but I can see this being a big obstacle in the future when I decide to go full time REI.

It looks like you're really hustling and doing a fantastic job, and it's definitely encouraging to see someone take a huge goal, make a plan for it, and start chipping away, figuring out ways around obstacles and not letting anything stop you.

What is your competition, and what obstacles will you face?  

Just wanted some compensation for their third postponing of the escrow closing that’s incurring my financial lost since didn’t know my right, and since I wasn‘t able to take much of the advantages from the downturn market for this property that‘s also full of obstacles (rookie meet up with a lazy and inexperienced realtor).

I recently sold a property for $8.5k and the investor was very happy with the semi detached home (which needed about 8-12k worth of work).   

Sounds like a twin home,or semi detached property to me.

You may be looking at semi-detached homes as duplexes, which generally are two different properties.
