Keep in mind the "withholding" you mention for self-employment are actually quarterly estimated taxes.

You have the precedent that you discussed this in July to mention.

@David Roberts in the purchase price range you mention, in Baltimore city just about any property will hit your rent range.

As was mentioned above the actual limit is 10...and you can go higher in certain scenarios.  

If co-signing but NOT occupying, then you will need to put down 25% down-payment as @Andrew Postell mentioned. 

Like @Marcia Maynard mentioned, does it cash flow?

Shortly after submitting my question, I went to the Calculators page and saw where it mentioned that the download option was for "Pro" users only.

They haven't been determined yet because the costs of the items Tom Gimer mentioned are put together at the end of the year and reevaluated every year.

As others mentioned, it depends on what you define as 'investing'.

I found the following article to be interesting:https://www.cnbc.com/2017/11/06/homelessness-soars...Nobody wants homeless people in their neighborhoods yet those very people buying the houses in today's market are in a way, contributing to the growing population of homelessness (in the markets mentioned in the article of course).
