Hi there, wondering if anyone has some thoughts on a best approach here: I am planning on moving, changing jobs and purchasing a duplex (primary residence, rent the other unit out) in the next 4-6 months.

This is such a wonderful and helpful community to be a part of.

I am wondering the best plan of action. 

I am wondering if anyone out there has worked with Jeff Parish at Captial4flips.com? 

@Nancy ZhaoWhile heat-pumps (either air to air or air to water) are wonderful  - we use them quite extensively - those of us in climates which experience *real* winter are normally required to have an ancillary source of heat to cover those periods where the heat pump alone is inadequate.  

Wondering if any local investors use a Quickbooks certified advisor that doesn't charge an arm and a leg? 

I live in Wytheville and was kind of wondering the same thing.

@Lisa Li You are starting the game in a wonderful position.

Like the great Albert Einstein said "Compounding Interest is the 8th wonder of the world".

I understand that FHA loans are only allowed to be used on a primary residence, so I'm wondering if there's anything illegal about getting a 3.5% down FHA loan and moving into the property, then eventually moving out and turning it into a rental.
