In this case, I have a Section 8 tenant who just got unlucky in life, its a family of 4 looking for a home in Glen Burnie, MD or it's surrounding areas for a 3bed @ $1700 & under a month. 

The coursework taught me obscure laws and weird measuring techniques that will almost never come up in real life.

I'm trying to minimize the down payment so I can still have an egg leftover to deal with CapEx/anything else that can go wrong in my financial life.

I would have them clarify why, but know the insurance is something you shop for (and can shop for for the life of the loan) and taxes vary property to property. 

I am looking forward to starting a new chapter in my life and transition from the transportation industry to the real estate industry.  

We are getting to the point in our life where we need to give our "retirement fund" a real shot in the arm if I am ever to retire. 

If something goes sideways in my life I want to be able to sell for a profit the same day I bought the property.

I lived in several area's in the Netherlands in different stages of life.

Ive reached a point in my life where Ive realized a dependancy on a traditional income is not the route I would like to take.The more I study real estate the more intrigued I become.

I'm also interested in buying an old property to fix up a little, since I love the idea of being able to give new life to something old.
