I'm not sure if its dumb luck or just in the right place at the right time. I met with a motivated seller today and he wants to liquidate his assets. This deal involves a Famous Las Vegas Strip Club and a Gun range...

I will be giving notice on my apartment and won't have a place to life if he backs out.

I have been involved in building new home most of my life.

I don't want to have success just to have it blow up in my face just as quick...I want to keep loan to values as low as possible with the goal of paying off the properties in 5-10 years, and have cashflow for life

Kay H.I've been there trying to balance life and also invest in your business, it gets tough.

What you can really afford depends on your overall life expenses.Do you currently rent?

Its best if comps are the same style (e.g., ranch w/ basement, ranch w/o basement, two story, trilevel).

Clarification: FHA loans originated after July-something, 2013, can never have the MIP removed for the life of the loan.

I imagine maintenance costs would be higher - shorter roof, exterior paint life, etc.
