@Malcolm Brown Would something like this fit in your buy box: https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/84-Livings...?

If you live paycheck to paycheck and do all this you are never going to become an investor because you aren't willing to change your lifestyle now for something you can have in a few years.  

I will be living in the guest house, while renting out the main.Both units are without washer and dryer units, my question is, do I supply them in the main house; or let potential tenants figure that one out?

I am starting with a small budget(100k-120k) so trying to understand which neighborhoods I should focus on, would love to get recommendations if you have :) I live south of the city and only like to go about 30 minutes away from home. 

Let them know how much you enjoy living in the home and mention that you’re planning to buy your own property in 2025.

Hi Colin, I live and invest in St.

She has a ton of units in Des Moines and still lives in the area so may be able to give you some advice on what might work there and what won't.

If you qualify for both (you've lived in the property long enough and it is used for investment when you sell it) then you get to take both.

I lived in LA for a decade and we have many friends, family, clients and community members suffering and send our sincerest condolences to all of those experiencing and affected this tragedy. 

Anything to make living there a nuisance.
