My husband and I did an FHA when we bought our fist home in 2002, long story short we took out the equity and made that money grow, so that was the only time we have financed from that point on we have done everything cash, so we are not familiar with financing.We would also like to get information on construction loans can you point us to the right direction?

@Michael KisselYou may want to consider self-directing your retirement account into rental properties as the income would flow back into the retirement account and grow on a tax deferred basis. 

It will help you grow much faster and will be more sustainable because you're focusing on relationships vs. transactions. 

This portfolio is growing as well so please take that into consideration.Please post what information is needed and I will send you an e-mail in the next 48 hours.

My point is, same industry or different, you need to learn things where you want to grow.

You could also be rent-locked with section-8 especially if the market is growing faster than what section-8 covers. 

Elder law is a growing area (baby boomers aging). 

So I'd like to invest maybe in New Jersey, or other growing areas... 

Ok, this is what we got...My mom bought a condo (140k) 6 months ago with the idea of renting it and have a passive income, long strory short the HOA didn't allow her to rent it, just for her (or family) to live in, so now she is thinking about selling it again (she doesn't live in the US).She got a very good offer (170k) but I think that the market in that area is still growing because of the urban developments there (shopping mall, convention center, etc).On the other hand the apt is empty and it's costing her around $400 in HOA fees.What would you do?

I am depleting my own funds quickly and would like to grow faster.
