(it is 2:30AM and i stared at it for a sec too)So best bet would just do a house hack if you can on a cheap duplex and pay 3.5% down.

I bet he will really appreciate your making this post.

It's easy to read more books and stay in safe mode than get out there to get the real life training working deals day to day.

That is the only additional paperwork I can recall for S8.The annual inspection ensures the primary features of the property work and the property is safe. 

When you start out young, go the safe and boring route.

@Anthony MaiI will bet my personal reputation, coupled with the wristwatch of your choosing, that this is a legit 3 unit.

Your best bet would be looking for a duplex and financing it FHA owner occupied with 3.5% down.  

If you come across as rude, you might slow things down.Not sure about a legal time limit but I bet they know more about it and how to get around it, if necessary, than you do....

Best bet is to get inspections and or professionals out to assess the systems and provide estimates.With the roof 20-50 years depending on the climate, area, type of shingle and type of roof.

I Tend to think big and bet on my skills.
