I am 18 years old, just about to finish my schooling career in the 2 months, and would not mind traveling oversees for 'business purposes' next year :D Pretty keen actually..Any info on this topic would be great, thanks.

Class D, warzone, low income areas would be your last resort.

@Stone Teran  this is well within the scope of a HML A and D loan.. and 5 years is great term.. although once you stabilize and get it up and running I would think you can refi out to much better rate.

Pretty great return if you can do all the reno for $35-50k.W/D are a great consideration.

I have a tenant who kited one too many checks twenty-five years ago and has had to deal with that hanging over his head ever since. for sure . it can be all over the map.. but its very pronounced in the D C class arena.. that's why its cash and money orders. 

You could house hack and get a break on your mortgage, which is what we do, but our duplex probably wouldn’t ever cash flow positive after we moved out - we would lose money every month, so we will likely condo-ize and sell.That said, there are secondary markets farther from Boston that will cash flow if you want to buy rentals.

:D

@Kyle Jensen great transformation!
