Now FHA does require 24 months of work history or school so make sure that you don't quit your day job just yet!

Conway has 3 major colleges and Little Rock has several colleges along with the state's only medical school.

The income and job history for sure.

Currently our home has 150k-180k in equity (depending on an additional legal addition of property to the backyard) and im not yet sure as to what method to pursue.I dont intend to dive completely into real estate investing as my sole career but do wish to acquire enough passive income to work as little as possible while attending graduate school a year from now.

America has always encouraged home ownership - America liked to be known as democratic - in school etc - it worked well for the first 150 or so years.

All of this propaganda from Clinton and Bush Administrations, "everyone should own their own home," is the propaganda that led to the worst recession in U.S. history.

Marysville Schools don't compare well with neighboring Districts (Lake Stevens).

I was pre-med 15 years ago headed towards medical school, then got into property management and landlording.  

I think it's cheap tuition from the "The School of Hard Knocks". 

I think the development of a Med School will be a huge catalyst for growth; Spokane has the opportunity to be a great market!
