I'm active duty AF as well and I wish I would have started at your age.

Haven't applied for an owner-occupied in ages.

My age and other things out of my control have prevented employment for over 8 years.  

At first I wanted to retire early at 55, then I realized that doing 15 year notes I would have a lot more flexability at age 40.

#CommonSense While I do share the same understanding of the laws and how it applies here, you have to remember that we are in a day and age where common sense is unfortunately not always what dictates how laws are written or liabilities are distributed across parties.There is a reason Apple feels they have to include a "do not eat" warning on iPod shuffles. 

Also keep in mind BP is Anti paid training for virtually any real estate.And Nick through various associations may have done 8k deals over the last 2 decades I know I funding probably 1500 of them or so.  

Highly risky but at my age and experience is worth the risk to me. 

Due to my age, I need to liquidate some of my assets.

Even though you have a family and that's a huge responsibility, you can take some lumps in the beginning (at your age especially) & still be okay down the road.

Is the aging systems or differed maintenance?
