The home can have up to THREE extra Units - but if it does have more than two, there will be a self-sufficiency test whereby your mortgage would need to be 100% covered within 75% of appraised rents from those other Units.

And if you put the word out and somebody raises their hand and says they have a house they want to sell, the answer to the "okay, now what do I do?"

I'm new and I need a little guidance I was born and raised here in Washington DC Where there is alot of commercial and residential properties for sale.

As a new investor that was raised in construction, my ability to analyze fix and flip deals is my longsuit.

Bad idea, outside of the "smell test".....depreciation is just basically an interest free loan, if you don't 1031, since you pay back 25% on all those deductions when you sell.  

Also A high speed train testing facility

Most products used in the US construction industry have to meet high standards to ensure they do not pose a threat to people, apparently the testing was not adequate in this case....

I was born and raised in Ghana.
