Right now is a good time because most contractors are slowing down for the winter.

Thankfully winter will help slow that however that presents a whole diff set of challenges.

@Michael Mullins@Mike McCarthyI've heard Cozy can be very slow with getting payments to you.

Bank financing means a slow close...

Do you have any references that I could look into or should I just do a google search for Securities lawyers in Iowa?

Hi All,I'm starting a search for a 2-4 unit property in Oakland, Ca in the general area along highway 13.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a Prop. mgmt co. in the Detroit, MI area.  A good one?  thanks

So we have been debating a couple options,1) Buy condo/townhouse (possibly without FHA) and then buy single family residence with FHA, move into the SFR and rent the condo2) Rent apartment, then search for a multi-family to buy and house hack3) Buy single family home and delay buying a rental due to save up for down paymentI would love to hear any advice or opinions on the options listed above (or any others) as well as, purchasing a property on a short time frame, and using a FHA loan on the second property instead of the first.

I would check your house here: public records search.

@Tom GimerThat's great...never heard those terms....I'll have to do a search for those here and on the web...sounds like the right path....thanks so much
