Getting into real live action (not meta) will connect you to your next real partners, and new stream of income strategies.

@Dave KushIf someone calls me when I am on the dnc list I am gonna make their life a living hell.I will hire a VA to spam the hell out of them and teach them a lesson.

Secondly the I wanted to obtain the property with no or little money down in other words FHA but I don’t live in the area nor do I work remote. 

If there are any real estate investors on here that live in Fort Worth, Texas, would y'all like to meet up?

Our family of 3 plan to live in one unit and rent out the other.

We lived in the property for two years while we slowly renovated interior, landscaping, as well as resurfacing the pool, and added privacy with a new fence.

My plan is to use the grant to purchase  a duplex  and live in one side for free or close to it.

I live in and invest in Tampa so I’m biased but you truly can’t go wrong in either market, Tampa is going to be a little better on the appreciation side and Orlando will offer slightly better cash flow opportunity whether it’s multi family, single family or short term rental.

If someone is working with a lower balance of funds like I am, than I'm more likely to prefer cashflow so that I can continue to afford the property as well as my life style.If I had some disposable income that was in excess of what I need to live on, than I'm more inclined to look forward towards appreciation because I would have enough wealth to take the hit now for the bigger payment in the future. 

I'm thinking of making the main requirement to live in the home be a master's degree.
