I'm living in one of my half-done rehabs at the moment (long story), but even after all these years of being in real estate, it's refreshing to be reminded that I'm not the only one who sometimes makes uncomfortable lifestyle changes, with the end goal in mind.Newbies can learn a lot from the more experienced investors here on BP, but I think everyone can really benefit from the Newbies' posts, being reminded of why we first started it all.

As for investing, we currently live in the top-half of a duplex we bought last year with a VA loan.

It would be 2 lenders financing the mortgage with the below structure: Mortgage: -1st - at 70% LTV $244,300 monthly payment of $1303.81/mth -2nd with Private lender at 15% $52K total 85% LTV monthly payment of $634/mth (INTEREST ONLY LOAN) The lender/brokerage fees to set these up are roughly $7K-10K $52,500 Downpayment (15%) $8.5K FEES Total Cash - $61,000 Mortgage + Expenses = $3085/mth I basically don't have 60k so I'll need to open a LOC to cover half of that amount.

If they have been a great tenant and I would like them on a loner lease, I will offer X for a 1 year and half that for a 2 year.
