Hi guys, I am looking into buying this 3 bedroom single family home for my first investment.

I'm new to real estate investing and am interested in buy and holds, small multi-family units (primarily duplexes) as well as single family homes.

I had the good fortune to buy several homes in texas and california between 2010-2013 .I financed the deals with private money and figured I would hold for 5-7 years.I have changed course and want to hold these proper...

So far, by some amount of amazing fortune, I've been able to qualify every single family that had this structure of mortgage, that has called me, for the refinance that (in this scenario) at least dropped it down to ~$2080 per month.

Commercial is a little different then single family.

Every investor who has actually gone to look at Morris product has reported very negative experiences.. the same would happen if folks went and looked at D areas of Memphis as the memphis experts have chimed in about... 

I purchased my first single family home investment property about 7 months ago and like everyone else seeing that rent check deposited each month motivated me even more to continue learning this business.

Downside is split single contract into two, double closing costs and increased mortgage insurance costs.MY QUESTION:Does this sound correct, or is the underwriter mistaken...Do multiple townhomes require their own individual loans for each single unit (even if apart of the same structure)?

Looking for a general contractor for a single family home to install flooring throughout the house as well as painting and work on tile and tub in bathroom.

The subject property is a homepath single family ranch style property with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a basement with 1344 sq.ft listed at $195k.
