This tenant, however, is ideal; takes fantastic care of the property and is impeccable with rent being sent on time.  

So I’m getting subsidized two bedroom rent in this three bedroom unit which isn’t ideal, but it also means we don’t need to drop a large rehab in there right now.

My ideal plan is to use HELOC for other investments sometime in 2018, use the BRRR strategy, and pay back my HELOC.  

Would a creek side cabin be ideal? 

This program is ideal for homeowners such as landlords and/or senior citizens living on fixed income.

I know out of state investing isn't ideal but my tax preparer told me after I started working, " you need to have a baby, buy a house, or open a business otherwise Uncle Sam will take your money" real estate investing was the way to go!

Ideal, no.

Nearby an area that is considered ideal neighborhood.

Ideally I want to rent it out. 

Ideally buy a building that doesn't have any major repairs on your first one (potentially only a roof), but no wiring, plumbing, etc. unless you can leverage family members/close friends for these services.
