The other side is not rented yet, but I expect to get around $700 for one side and $750 for my side when I move out.I know with FHA you are supposed to stay at the property for one year.

I see myself buying less than 10 properties and suppose my ultimate FI number would be between $2k-$3k a month. 

I suppose you can get lucky sometimes, but why roll the dice.

I suppose that's possible, but that's a lot of moving parts for the deal to come together. 

Besides even though the houses in these markets are lower, so is the rent.My husband works in construction, so buying a house here has the pro that a lot of the renovations he can do himself.Also, we are supposed to have a recession within the next 12 months.

Its a cabin, rustic, just the way it's supposed to be.

Or is this how it’s supposed to be ?

In addition to this, as I understand it, you made no provisions to keep utilities on at the house from June 30 - July 12 during a humid time of year (note: new tenants were supposed to have these turned on, which I learned is not a good plan because it delayed the cleaning).

I doubt that you'll be taken seriously, but you can essentially continue to contact the seller until they block you I suppose.

I over bid just to be safe, and he was supposed to submit it that day, and call the seller at my request to say we were putting in a bid.
