And the homes if you choose like i do  Stucco  tile roof less than 20 years old A B class you can actually self manage those from San Jose.so thats another option to explore.. dont just let price dictate and for sure dont go chasing Bps  that will come back to bite you.PS Steve is one switch on smart landlord I would read as many of his posts as possible from the owner do it yourself angle..  

So I decided to go online to find out what rich people do with small sums, like $10K.A Kris Kohn video appeared and he mentioned that you could buy a small business and possibly put only $10K down.I’ve found a few websites that caught my eye and there was a Pizza Place that appeared in my area.Now, I have significant knowledge working in an industrial kitchen because that was my primary job in the military, so I know what everything should look like, but I don’t have a lot of knowledge about a civilian Pizza shop directly.  

That will be pushing it to be shopping a loan, even for the best mortgage brokers / banks it will take at least that to get it through underwriting.Best bet is to go to local banks, where the broker is actually the underwriter.

Will keep shopping.

I just have a lot of thoughts (as you all can see hahaha) and don't know if I'm so eager to move forward with this just to keep myself busy/to have somewhere to retreat to, or if it's because it has the likelihood of being a smart way to spend my money.

That said, we usually look for a detached garage, shop, shed or other structure that can be converted to an ADU.

@Chris Aronson Oh and one last thing, you might shop that mortgage rate around a bit, I'm closing on a house (owner occupied) tomorrow and I was able to lock in a rate of 2.625% with Quicken through Lending Tree and Morty Inc.

Shopping How did you finance this deal?

There is usually a window where you can apply with multiple lenders while you are shopping for rates and have it count as one hard credit pull.

He is mainly non investor for now, but he is money smart.
