I recently signed up new tenants on a 12-month lease, starting in June, for the upper level unit of a duplex I own.The lease signing at a local coffee shop was the first time I had met the tenants.

I mean learn how credit works, build a decent FICO, learn about various conventional financing options, etc.Then 3-4 years from now, when you are out of school, have a job, good credit and a few thousand dollars, go shopping for a Homepath duplex in Claremont or Newport

I'd take a day off (of my day job) and try to  make it up there if it is... sounds like some good IE folks talking shop...

I say this because my family is in Kansas and it is where I would like to set up shop.

Two quotes can hardly be considered to be shopping thoroughly.

I met a couple of them through TREIA meetings and one while shopping for a primary residence.However, I don't believe I can post their info here or I may catch a beat down from the mods!

That way I could take it to a local millwork shop and have the molding or bracket or corbel recreated.

Close to desirable schools and grocery shopping.

The agencies expect consumers to shop around.

Very affordable, super nice people (both locals and expats), close proximity to rivers, rainforests and ruins, as well as the Guatemala border for shopping and medical runs.
