-Current market rent is $1,250 per unitHere is what numbers look like when I live there: We currently pay $1,450/month in rent right now so that's something to consider. 

Hi all, I am new to Real state investing and Live in the NY/NJ Area. things are super expensive.

we're about to get started with our first, so trying to learn what we might not know in order to streamline things as much as possible (especially since we don't live in the city where our MTR is)thanks!

Live there a year and then refinance and do it again. 

OrSecond: buy a single-family fixer upper (400-500k) home, live in it for 2 years and either sell it to avoid capital gains tax or rent it out. 

I owed 3 months of child support, recently divorced, back home living with parents, driving an old car with over 100k miles and had been recently fired from a job.

I'll live there, as a second home.

I'm still waiting to pull the trigger on my first property, which will be a 2-4plex where I live in one unit and rent out the others, but my question is (for you or anyone else that may be in the know) is whether this is just for first-time homebuyers or in general?

When we signed the lease, I told her I would repair anything in her first month living in the house.

If you want the real deal on how your Section 8 applicant is going to be in your property stop by where they are living now and ask if they have a checklist for the inspection.
