The technique you describe is a terrible choice!

Also I don’t think it’s a terrible request.

With how your 401k is funded this might he a terrible idea.  

If you have an agent that is trying to enfore their rep- thats a great way to know that you have a terrible, desperate agent.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.My advice within reason is to separate out the primary from the investment property, ultimately any property you buy probably isn’t purely the absolute best property property you can buy from an investment standpoint but that’s ok, I’d figure out what budget you are comfortable with, figure out place you can be happy for at least 5 years and at the end hope it cash flows, I’m not saying buy some property that’s an absolutely terrible investment but there’s more to life than a few hundred in cash flow in 5 years lol.

Haha yeah they are terrible.

With current interest rates around ~7% for investment properties the net cash flow initially with new construction or turnkey would be 1-2K/month (terrible CoC return).

American Home Shield is a terrible company!

I do know one of the hospitals around has a terrible reputation, so that’s not helpful!

I'm looking at a home that vacant and in terrible disrepair.
