If I could use a USDA 524 Loan, construct a duplex, refinance when project is complete with a traditional mortgage, and then sell/rent the other side while I live in the property then it just may work out for me.This is a brainstorming  session for me and I was wondering if anyone had any tips at all or if this strategy seems viable? 

Any other tips out there?

Food servers, exotic dancers, bar tenders = typically none of that "tip" income is on tax returns, same thing, doesn't "count." 

"I invest in properties and working my way to financial freedom"Not everyone I've talked to is interested but the ones who are end of giving me tips or say they will let me know when something comes their way.Just today I told someone at work what I was doing.  

Any tips or advice is greatly appreciated. 

you highlighted a great tip i personally used as i was first getting started.  

Does anyone have any good tips or tricks on finding a deal in the midwest or any other locations where it will be cheaper to buy a rental property?

Any tips on the process?
