I’m looking for some genuine advice on the next investment move here.

Send me a DM and I'll give you a recommendation or you can find one on your own.

On the one hand, I can see it as a positive indicator, for example of market health and increasing suburbanization. 

And some lenders will let you pay the interest by drawing down on the loan.

@Jacob NevarezGeneral red flags include many days on market (60 days+), few photos available online, under contract & reactivated multiple times, and no price drops if it has been on the market a while.

I am on a similar journey as you.

Wow... after reading this I feel like there is a lot of overcharging going on...

Regarding your question on how do individuals grow a Roth to those levels when they are limited to only $7,000/$8,000 a year. 1) Creative investing strategies.

Some times in a slow market and we need to attract tenant to sign a lease, we throw in some of these items because the cost of individual items is less than we lowering the rent by even $50 a month ($600 a year).

Good luck on it, what's the numbers look like?
