You didn't mention any kids or difficult life situations.

Hi everyone.this is my first time posting on this forum so I hope I'm making sense.In about a year from today, I'm hoping to purchase my first investment property, but unlike most of you, my road is a bit more difficult cause i don't live in the states, and never have lived.What I wanted to ask is what are the steps I need to take this coming year so that in 12 months I can just find a rental property that works with my strategy and buy it? 

Criminals - usually felons/sex offenders who find it difficult/impossible to get steady housing in light of their records.5.

This opens up many new opportunities for investors and homebuyers by providing liquidity in an asset that was once difficult to get out of.

I own a home in California (which I live in) and I want to start investing in real estate with the brrrr system, whats difficult for me to understand is if the bank will actually continue to lone you money when I keep buying properties, cause usually they want to see that your income can support the investment.

My long term goal is to hold but I also offered to sell them the house.Question is how do I have the difficult conversation about raising the rent on them if they don't want to buy? 

FHA Pros:-Friendly to lower credit scores (580-680)-Can buy multi-family with the same 3.5% down payment-DTI up to 55% (vs 45-50% for conventional) FHA Cons:-More difficult property/appraisal requirements-Frowned upon by agents, so the offer is weaker compared to conventional-LOTS of additional back-end stuff that makes a lenders job more difficult -If you're in a community property state, you have to include spousal debts even if they're not on the loan-Permanent mortgage insurance (but if you put 10% down, it'll go away after 11 years) -Fixed mortgage insurance (0.85%).

The financials might be more difficult to work out with your uncle, but maybe part of your 50% can be the property management of the asset.

Political discussion is prohibited in the forums and while I realize it is difficult to discuss policies that are enacted/enforced/overturned by politicians, you are limited to discussing the policies themselves and not the worth/worthlessness of those involved in crafting/overturning the policies.

There are some caveats to that which I wont dive into.Second, set you minimum stay on Airbnb to 30 days that way you can airbnb that other end of your duplex legally even if your city does not allow STR's as investment properties.Third, which is my favorite... throw the multiunit idea out the window since there is less inventory on the market and competition can be more difficult.
