At the same time push harder to contest your taxes.

The people who push this seem to ignore the risk of vacancy.

The porch guys push this thru more times than not for us.  

@Donna Ward If you have enough income (W2, 1099 or self employed/business), then you can push through both loans at the same time.For your primary residence, you can use either a 3.5% down FHA loan (you can always put more down) or a conventional loan with as little as 15% down.For an investment property, you can get a conventional loan with 20% down (SFH) or 25% down (multi-unit).If your rental income is disclosed on your tax return, then it can be used as income for your DTI calculation.This is all assuming that you have regular income to support the loan and clear credit.My recommendation would be start working with a mortgage banker who can help you think through your options and tell you what you can qualify for.Upen Patel, Mortgage BankerFederal NMLS# 1374243

My plan of attack for this project would be:Keep the plumbing locations for the bath & toilet in the same locations and just push your sink back with the wall. 

From an article published on National Real Estate Investor (NREIOnline.com), growing interest in the Senior Housing Sector could be pushing prices close to peak levels.

This type of opportunity coupled with reasonable paying jobs makes me think that areas like sugarland can potentially see further appreciation or at the very least should have some rental demand because its a fairly built out suburb.there is a lot more discretionary income in this city for the average person than los angeles...the ceiling for rents can go higher in a city like that, whereas in Los Angeles its going to be difficult to push rents higher and higher if there isnt real wage growth or more transplants with "bigger pockets" pun intended.this is my color on the markets just throwing some food for thought out there.

@Manly Souza It takes time, but keep pushing forward and you'll get there.

I've seen investors push into Del & MWC for the last year and haven't had a single break in or issue with crime of any kind.

So, on one hand I'd rather push back my contracts till November.
