Treacherous is too harsh a word, but certainly more risky.

I'm all set with the guide and key word alerts.

I couldn't put in words how happy I was and still am with the way Wells Fargo and Linda Wong and Renee Mickelson helped every step of the way.

The issue is you can't provide sweat equity, or in other words you can't do the work personally or hire a company you own to do the work etc.

I recommend you set key word alerts and continue to ask questions and network here.Pyrrha

I'd like to suggest you fill out your key word alerts, maybe: new construction, spec, san antonio, texas to name a few!

I just have to add one word “BANKS!”

You will want to see the wording.

I personally dislike the word "GURU"....something about it just does not sound right.Anyway,  I would suggest you take your savings, combine with FHA 203k, get the grants you mention and buy your OO/Investment property.Once you get started, I am sure everything else will fall into place, remember BP  has the answers to most of your questions.Good luck to you!!

The word 'try' is not acceptable as it gives you an out.
