Shouldn't that be MY choice.

Let’s review: You decided to buy your own home, you made the choice early to offset expenses by looking at a multiple income property, you went to the homebuyer’s class, you went to see a lender and got pre-approved for a loan, you saved or arranged to have the necessary amount required to buy and you hunted, searched and analyzed more than a few properties in order to find a good one that would satisfy your criteria.Your next phase is to begin to realize that you are now responsible for the welfare of another family or person due to your willingness to become a landlord.

It wasn't my first choice to do this so soon, but starting out, I couldn't find another solution when purchasing properties in this price range.

It is a classic choice and you have a lot of options (standard, brick, herringbone, etc).

Well the obvious choice is real estate, here in Florida if that's your major you can skip out on some of the licensing requirements.

Some places (this one) itemize the fees out, start with a normal interest rate, and give you the choice to bump the rate to absorb them.Others have fewer 203k fees, but have a pre-jacked-up rate, that you can buy down with discount points in lieu of calling it fees. 

The choice between investing in individual real estate purchases versus funds/REITs is fundamentally the decision between active and passive investment.

True "private money" is an obvious first choice, I just don't know anyone at the moment who has access to this type of cash.

😄To afford two apts at the same time is a little too much but that is part of my life.For young professions, they have no choice to break the lease when their job changed.

If I had my choice of every location in the US, I would have chosen this one.
