My wife and I are more than willing to make those changes,  and we do want to find an owner occupied opportunity.

Hi BP,I have found a fairly good opportunity and turnkey rental being sold by landlords looking to retire.

I like this one.3) Highest risk because too much carrying costs with hard money, inability to predict where market will be when it's time to sell (9 months + modular construction time), opportunity cost if your funds are tied up and another deal comes along so I'm not a fan, negative cashflow like crazy over a long period of time is no bueno.Like the numbers on your deal, too bad 9 months + build time is really far out.

This has got to be illegal and has to be stoppedAt the same time, I suggest that you write to POL and tell them that you intend on going to the SECI would expect that if nothing else that will help get some answersI applaud Ian Ippolito.

There is lots of opportunity here, which unfortunately has attracted some dishonest (and/or incompetent) people.  

I am looking for future opportunities myself, and with her.)My friend is specifically looking in the Westport area, and will only look at deals there (for now).

I think house hacking using an FHA loan is a great opportunity to live 'mortgage free' or close to it while building equity.

@Michael Lee Gundersen@Donald AleshireAll else equal, local is always preferable for any form of RE investment, provided that the local market presents attractive opportunities.

I'm reluctant to take advantage of these opportunities as I fee I just don't have the capacity to handle more than two to three at a time (even that's a stretch at times).   

I intend to make this my primary residence come April 2018.
