There are a lot of non performing notes out there if you have cash.Joe Gore

I have garnered a wealth of information from Bigger Pockets, since I started browsing this site, and the information provided, is all practical, cut to the chase topics - geared towards personal development, as well as giving a hands on approach to investing.My background is in the administrative/clerical field, in addition to have owned and operated a cleaning business for 8 years, then went into the insurance, then medical field.

I will have to talk with my non-investor relatives LOL

Keeping in mind that we need a mortgage and that one of us is a non-US citizen.Many thanks for your help.

There are non profitable majors such as art or psychology, which I have a Psyche degree!

Interesting and good topic.A tenant was weaseling out of not paying rent and she goes and gets an attorney,which is a long story but she tried to get me for not paying her interest on the security deposit, it was in escrow with her name on the account but I didn't give her the interest. 10 -15 cent with today's interest rates.I just gave her security deposit back to make it a moot issue in court.We are famous for taking care of our non paying tenants here in Mass.

They do an initial cleaning and treatment.

With FHA if you are living in one of the units you will but 5% down vs 20% non-FHA.

OO= Owner occupied (i.e. primary residence)NOO = Non owner occupied.Couple of notes:1) I heard it from a little birdie at my loan broker's that the fannie mae limit is going up from 10 to 12 soon so we may be able to go to 12 in a little bit.2) Once you get over 4, you're going to need to really do some digging to find lenders that can do the 5-10 loans (i.e. loans for properties 5 thru 10).

Commercial can be great, but I haven't seen any non-tenant driven projects in quite some time here.
