I bought a foreclosure from a S & L for $2,900.00.

's suggestion and will be keeping that in my back pocket as well.

I'm in the process of buying an REO, we have both signed P&S agreement and due diligence has been done.

I'm trying to find out information for my mother regarding a Whole Life Insurance policy she has.She started this policy roughly 10 years ago (I had no idea this whole time) and is in her early 70's.

I wish I had known or thought about house hacking when I was in my 20’s.

It’s advisable to get preapproved first, takes about two days tops, you submit w-2’s, tax returns, bank statements....this way you Know what you qualify to borrow.

I was in the high tech industry in the 80's.

Should I create a S LLC now or later?

With an FHA loan you can move in at 3.5% down and probably get the mortgage covered or close to it with a tenant in the other unit(s).
