Currently rents for $1750/mo with college renters)My question: do I leave the equity in the house, or do I draw it out and try to buy a property or two where I may have to put a cash down payment (against my current process of property acquirement)?

:) There is the NEREIA on the 5th but I assume unless you are leaving in the middle of the night you won't be able to go to that.

The funny thing is that the lender had the inspection report and appraisal for 3 weeks and waited until today the deadline to review the parameters, leaving me indication the loan would fail or for me to find another lender.

Of course, I was going to leave the link here for you but I can't find it even though I just read it like 5 minutes ago.

I would love advice on what to do for financing a first property.Backstory: I have alerted my employer that I am leaving my job in July.

I'm new to this business, love it, and feel that this candidate for hell will one day come to leaving my property.

Have you tried leaving the cabinet doors open to allow more heat to enter?

The smaller players like Alex Craig, Curt Davis and ourselves work on smaller margins so I think we provide better value by leaving equity in the deals.But the bottom line is make sure the location is OK, the property is rentable and you aren't paying too much.

It just gets under my skin when someone says something as absolute truth when there's no proof and that's what Duncan did.
