I utilized a Fannie Mae 5% loan to purchase the property.

@Jared Sliwinski Are you living in the property?

That's terrible, considering I can get a CD for 4% for 10 years, or an annuity at 6% for 10 years.Management companies want 20%, and property taxes and home insurance keep rising, considering I have no homestead exemption, so I am capped at 10%, not at 3%, and home insurance can do what it wants.Could someone please tell me where I am wrong, because in this case, it does not seem that this real estate is a good investment at all.

Understanding borrower experienceRewards - being in first position you are in control of property in case of default.

My Co-Owner just finalized our LLC and have started looking at properties for potential buying opportunities.

@Sean Kirk There are ibuyers that are out there that are willing to pay a little bit of discounted price on a property.

Is property management normally part of this arrangement?  

I am a newbie investor with over two years of experience buying a few properties where I live.

If you buy a portfolio of properties, can you live in one of the SFH and get a Fannie loan?

I have lived here for over 10 years(lived in Roswell right next door prior to that) and own many properties here.
