Or do i stay where I'm currently at, continue to rent out rooms instead of whole units, and save money to purchase a duplex further down the road?

There motivation is due to not enough room for the family.

We could not even walk into some of the rooms because of all his junk.

Remember that we now meet in the Community Room at the ISU Credit Union located at 2255 E.

The only double closes I have done - involved purchasing the home for 30 minutes with our funds, while my buyers were in the waiting room, and then sold using owner finance - so my experience with outside money is limited.

Meaning there is plenty of room to be losing money.

In the end, I chose equally qualified tenants without pets but turning down a potential check for over 27 grand was VERY hard for me but the offer just seemed to good to be true  .

I have a close friend whose dad owns an assisted living business here in Fresno California.So basically what he did was by a large house, about five or six rooms, added more rooms to it by splitting up the living room, adding a section in the back, etc.

There is just  no room for interest rates to go down much farther.

My short term plan (2016) is to buy a house for my brother going away to college and have cash flowing in from renting the rooms out to his friends.
