Setting myself up for a future passive income sounds like a great alternative.

As such, we have chosen the strategy of building an expanding portfolio of investment properties.We are interested in acquiring multi-family dwellings throughout the midwest, and maybe Atlanta (more on this in future posts).

Hi Everyone,Trying to get my first investment for my family's future and I am debating myself.

In the maintenance agreement, they were responsible for paying for any future repairs not only to their physical water line, but also for any damages to our property, regardless of what/who caused the damage.

It is easy to get distracted by college life and kudos for you for taking charge of you financial future :)

The subfloor and wood frame also doesnt seem in great condition so could be looming problems in the future.

A better alternative for future low down payment primary loans could be the Fannie Home ready loan.  

When you are buying a house for future rent purposes you have to evaluate morgage and other expenses versus potential rent.

Check your local planning and zoning to see what projects are already slated today and in the future.

Tag me back if I am missing something and maybe I can suggest something else but based on what you described you are in the loan you are in for the foreseeable future.
