@Samantha Klein Income earned from flipping would fall under self-employed.

So that's where I'm coming from but definitely will look around for local sized homes then add a bit for the land.

As far as your Mom's role goes,  the answer to that question depends on her credit score, her employment status,  her savings status etc.

The bank accepted an offer on an REO condo in Chicago, but the inspector found a small patch of mold (probably the size of a fist) on the bathroom ceiling.

The Air Force recently announced plans to increase force size for the first time in 6 years, in addition to the recent increase in housing allowance for military members, both of which I expect will also have some positive effects on the market here.

There are always all different types of shapes and sizes when it comes to townhouses.  

As my first purchase of this size, I don't want to make a huge costly mistake that would poison my endeavours from the start.One thing I noted when searching this property on different sites is that it looks like it dropped $10,000 back in March 2015.

Capitalization wouldn't be an issue for a project this size, either.

@Chase London For FHA loan you have to show 2 yrs of consistent work or 2 yrs of self employment.
