Does he have a history of violence?

@Keith Nelson,Do you know any history of the house?

I've been talking up REI to my daughter who is about your age.

Also randomly sat next to an RE investor who was visiting her daughter who goes to Pitt.

Click...' and the rest is history.

This would be a one year loan which I hope to convert to a traditional 15 year mortgage after the property has established a suitable rental history.  

I have the oppertunity to recieve a better pay rate in other places but i just dont want to go ahead and leave both my jobs if is not posible to get financing before the two year work history a lender would ask for.

I think about my son, daughter(arriving in 2 weeks), and wife and how great it would be to retire as young as possible. 

Interesting @Mike M. ...this property was apparently a gift to the owners daughter who could not handle home ownership...You know, it's weird, the owner seemed pretty down to earth despite the condition of the property.

@Liam Silva My daughter and other students rented a bedroom in a 4/2 SFR during college in Texas, because she did not want to live on campus anymore; the 3 students had their own bedroom, but shared the hallway bathroom.
