Im looking for advice from others if they've dealt with this situation before.From research I have done, I've read that lenders (traditional loans for first time homebuyers) may include the possible income from your tenant(s) in calculating what mortgage payment you can afford.Im afraid It'd be possible to get sucked into buying a larger (more expensive) property that I may not be able to afford if there is increased vacancy / multiple unfortunate events.This concerns me because if I (single, unmarried guy) can only afford $1300/month on a mortgage, but the bank is insistent that I can afford 2100 / month because  my income + rent can ''easily'' cover the cost. 

There is no getting away from the fact that internet leads are different than traditional referrals.

Google it.My understanding is that they can provide traditional  title insurance right away.

I can sell it.I have the cash reserves myself to lend, as well as know both individuals who want to fund real estate investors, and customers.I've talked to hard money lenders in depth before and understand the traditional model.

Once it is stabalized and value is added you may qualify for traditional lending.  2.

It sounds like your parents went the traditional route of investing.

It is very efficient, much less cost that traditional electric heat and is heats with far infared waves which heats objects not air. 

This would be considered a rooming house and has different/specific regulations in many areas as opposed to a traditional rental.  

Also found some good information from Kenyon Meadow's book, "Alternative Financial Medicine" quite helpful, particularly on page 54 and after.While the reviews are informative, one must always do their own due diligence. 

There may be innovation that drives the Ag market but the traditional markets are tight.
