Live in one, rent the other three.

I recently learned that a contractor I play ball with has helped all three of his daughters buy houses at 18-19 years old, helping them to secure a good deal on a house needing work, at a price they could afford.

If you have these three things down and market well, you will succeed. 

I normally don't wholesale, but I have three properties I wont pass up because of the price, stituation, and type of real estate.

He shares their custody so they are expected to visit 2 weekends per month.They came in, opened the door without ringing the bell, the man and his children did not greet me, they went upstairs, in 3 minutes they were there children were running and jumping like mad becasue the flooring was making all sort of sounds.

RING, REIA, etc.?

PDX is also very unfriendly to landlords, so we are selling the home there, and will be investing the proceeds here in Kentucky in two (according to my wife) or three (I hope) homes that we can rent and earn some passive income once she's done with the Army in ten-or-so years.We expect one more duty station after we leave Kentucky and hope to use our VA benefits to purchase a home wherever that might be to add to the portfolio (We really wish we'd been smarter and done the same in Denver and Long Island).

I've lived in Hub City for about three years, and Hagerstown seems like an area that's slowly but surely upgrading.

However, they called back three months later asking if we could come up to $85,000 and we accepted.How did you finance this deal?

Also, remember that you have three scores and the scores you see through consumer companies like Credit Karma do not necessarily matchup with what the lenders are seeing.
