I'm personally not a fan of the primary home theory that it's an investment.

Read what you're passionate about, stay consistent, and take actionable steps with that information to continuously improve and you will undoubtedly be successful in whatever you pursue with or without a college degree. 

(Not sure how we would get a loan, and also I'm not comfortable having 2% only)I am not sure I'm too fan of this idea.

Might also remove a drop ceiling in the kitchen and add a light/fan, and/or re-grout the step-in shower in the back bathroom.

Without what I have learned from you all while reading the forums, I would not have jumped into RE as soon as I have or with such passion.

I am a huge fan of the podcasts and I continually hear of people getting deals by solving problems for others.

I was out $1, but his guide reignited the passion I had for RE again.

If there is someone out there that you really want to learn from you have to be a devoted fan.

I'm generally not a fan of max leverage on every property...but other people are, so to each their own.If your DTI is too high for a HELOC, it's probably too high for CO-refi, but theoretically you may have better terms with the CO-refi that could slide you just below that lender's DTI threshold. 

I am also a fan of the Kwikset SmartKey.
