We have done pure investment loans, and personal properties.

For me, I would invest in Garfield if I could afford it as a pure investment property, however I would look for properties where I can get some forced appreciation.

Kept ice chest full of drinks available.

We loved how the paint turned out, too - it’s a pure white Loxon Sherwin Williams paint!

To answer your comment, I find that the majority of landlords are very disrespectful to tenants, blame everything on their tenant that goes wrong with the property and talk down to tenants.As for being 100% pure business, there is absolutely no feeling or love for tenants when it comes to rent increases or terminating their tenancy.

Many great points made here and I appreciate all of your perspectives.I feel that transparency and pure intentions really go a long way no matter which business you’re in.

We found a lot of good information on BP supporting both 15 and 30 year, and we agree that it is a purely personal preference based on goals and vision.

Just provide pure knowledge.

HI Alex,Depending on where your income and asset values, and credit is at you could: - reposition equity from one property to purchase this duplex as an investment property with 25% down- buy it as FHA or primary residence to occupy one unit temporarily up to 1 year then depending if you have sufficient equity you could refinance it into conventional (frees up your FHA for future use) which can remove your mortgage insurance to help the cash flow and you can convert it to a pure investment property and move else whereLet me know if you have any questions on financing strategy as there are pro's and con's with each varying from tieing up your money, cash on cash returns, and how certain strategies affect your future ability to qualify.

When something is purely anecdotal - such as your case, people just talk about what occurred in their own life but don’t give specifics.
