I am new to real estate and looking to invest out of my main state of Kentucky.  

There are two main items you have to do. 

They are presenting an intriguing new mortgage product with an interest-only component at a Meetup I’m a regular at in case you happen to be free.

It is not particularly close to the main hospital or the university.I do think of it as a pretty stable area that is relatively safe for an investment.

The main reason you'll get the home back invariably in worse shape is you are giving this house to an extremely (extremely) week family.   

Deals on the MLS are few and far between, the main reason I've shifted my marketing focus to finding sellers, depending on the property for whether it's an MLS listing lead or a property to present to my buyers as a pocket listing. 

At least until you have the property inspected to determine the current condition and life expectancy of all major components and appliances.  

Unlike a FHA loan, under a conventional loan the mortgage interest component will automatically drop off once you have more than 20% equity. 

Tandem coffee in Portland Maine is the type of coffee destination that I seek out when traveling.
