Tax-Advantaged and Tax-free Investments are set up to encourage people to start Investing and try to realize the American Dream.

If it covers room and board, yes, I would.I would probably study philosophy, art, music, literature, history, psychology, architecture.

Since your a newer investor, and unless you have a specific reason why you want to go the Seller financing route, I'd strongly encourage you to go the 'traditional' route through a bank for financing.

@Dave Spooner thanks for the encouragement.

I always try to have words of encouragement for everyone, but there are a few things you should know.I assume you are aware the property is in a rough part of town, so it will come witha few management isuues.

Again, I would encourage you to explore using a low-down payment conventional mortgage instead of FHA.What about pest control, lawn care, snow removal, and admin/professional fees?

Speculation on what we should see over the next 6 months is encouraged on this thread!

"Cheating" is not something I'd encourage since you may be bordering on fraud, which in a loan app is prosecutable.For reference, read up on 2009/2010 and RE loans.

@Brady Hlad If you're new to BP I always encourage people to use the search bar.

@Joseph Pochinskas - It is definitely okay and I HIGHLY encourage you to just go with the 2 flat and keep moving forward.
