I'm okay with a piggyback loan to support the remaining down payment (80-15-5).7.

I think you will increase your pool of potential renters with an upstairs bath, no one wants to go up and down stairs to shower and if the market supports it, personally I'd keep a half bath downstairs and up the rent a bit. 1.5 baths is an amenity in my opinion where as 1 bath is a necessity.

Ok thanks for the support Sir. 

How are you supporting your offer?

From the same video above:But you are correct, there are a lot of high paying jobs coming into the area, and most of the migration out is from middle and lower class families:Although from a strictly objective standpoint, I believe it's smarter to invest in an area that has a diverse economy and supports job growth for a range of incomes than one that only supports high income jobs from a single industry.Further, household demographics are shifting too.

I'd love to hear - how did you overcome that & get the buy-in & support of your significant other?

It's currently renting for $1500/ month but needs work and would aim to rent it for $1600- $1650, which is supported by comps in the area.I am currently renting a room on a month to month basis and need my own place, but have not found anything less than $1675/ month when all living expenses are accounted for (rent, utilities, internet).

Once you have Plans and supporters, set up group on Meetup.com.

There's a US Supreme Court decision that supports lifting the stay.
