Hey Dan-Sorry to hear about the situation you're going through.

Thanks for the tip.

Would love to hear feedback from other members, builders and commercial brokers.Than@Abdul Siddiqui@Abdul Siddiqui How is the development process going?

I would learn all you can, go to meetups, build relationships, but only buy something now if you are going to house hack it for the two years until you go and then just rent out your unit when you go.

So for example, a 761 credit score will be in the 760-779 credit category, then going down to 740-759 and so on.2.

My concern is the rough looking Valero corner gas station plus area around the gas station coming off the highway exit to go down the street into the Lennar subdivision. 

@Michell Chase Congrats on getting your first duplex going.

They will go "fully amortized" after 10 years meaning your draw period ends and you go back into repayment mode.

Finally closed on my house in Jacksonville, Fl.I ended up giving Power of Attorney to my brother and having him sign for me.I would advise others to have their POA setup prior to leaving the US as I had to go to the US Embassy in Bangkok to have the POA papers notarized.  

Reading right before bed can not only be relaxing, but also lets your brain go to work for you while you sleep.
