I see advantages to continue renting while we invest in other properties.Only have to take out one loan for the investmentRenting keeps us from any personal maintenance costs we have to incurInvestments can eventually pay for our homeI don't know much about lending rules, but I'm curious to hear from experienced folk on advice here.

Folks, Apologies to the Mods if this is in the wrong section.  

Thank you,Marina WedgeWelcome Marina,Another Aussie on here ;)I don't believe you will be able to successfully wholesale from afar.Just my 2 cents and I'm sure you will get some more great insight from other folks on Bigger Pockets.Thanks and have a great day.

I don't envy those folks spending hundreds of dollars on leased or purchased vehicles to use as a fashion statement.

I, like the majority of the folks here on BP, was introduced to and became infatuated with REI after reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki over 10 years ago and unfortunately allowed fear of the unknown to paralyze me from pulling the trigger.

The same old boring stuff will get folks upset with you and opt-outs.  

Plus, the bad reputation keeps less savvy folks out of market which is good for them and for the city/area.

Meet some great folks and learned some good info.

We could have gone with a 203k instead of your client’s offer, but chose the cash for obvious reasons as timing is critical to my clients and they are counting on the closing this Thursday, June 18th.It’s a shame your folks do not have a contractor relationship who understands how to create a quality product, while ensuring an investor gains a healthy return on their investment.

I know it probably doesn't help ease the pain but many, many other people will benefit from your insight and you may even pick up some valuable feedback from the more experienced folks on here that will help you on the next one.
