From what I’ve read on BP there’s a ton of smart savvy people here that could probably map out a path for you!

I’m excited for my new journey of career change.I know it’s not an easy path but I rather work for myself than someone else.I’ll be working with a small brokerage.Any advice?

But we are talking about pretty much one of the most efficient, straight forward deals out there. 

Based on your goals the seemingly obvious path is to buy a duplex (or triplex or quad).

@Jerryll NoordenI'm going to disagree with you and here's why:Based on what I've read, and the documents submitted to the USPO, is that one approach is that people, when seeking to sell property will use the best and easiest found path created via the internet. 

There is no one right path in real estate, and the best path for you will depend on your goals.

If the answer is not a solution or at least a path to a solution, I ask for the E&O carrier (Errors and Omissions insurance carrier) information due to the error and omission in the listing that caused my clients numbers to be off.

Our deal now should be an easy, straightforward SFH, no assigns or creative anything. 

Places that may be a little rough now, but on the path to improvement?

I had the ability to buy a house with the VA loan and this was the top of my price range as a rookie firefighter, but right in the path of progress.
