Now its time to really get started.My overall goals are to build sustainable wealth with real estate while providing a service to the general population in the form of property recycling (bring properties back to usable form for the public) and buy and hold rentals (providing solid housing for people and families).As far as progress, my wife and I are currently in our first house hack - living in, refurb, plan to rent.

Assuming lender restrictions stay the same, if you were to get a cash buyer or someone using conventional financing - non FHA, it wouldn't be a problem.The property my wife and I just bought has a duplex up situation that was marketed as a 6 bedroom and 2 bath duplex.  

The service isn't evil or bad in any way, it's just niche.

Given that the Multiple Listing Service, or MLS is the best resource to use.

From one vet to another, thank you and your family for your service!

With my non-tired free time I really enjoy learning new things (like real estate investing) or being productive in a way that doesn't relate to my business (like my own creative pursuits).Thanks again everyone for the thoughts this has truly helped clear the picture for me.
