There are no state laws in Texas limiting how much you can sell a house for or an amount for which rent may or may not be charged, nor are their federal laws. 

For a lot of new investors with limited options we are often times the only viable option they have.

The cost of professional managers may limit the appeal of the property. 

Hi Everyone,As a new real estate investor, I am planning to use an FHA loan for my first MF property as an owner occupant.  Then, a year or two later do it again with a VA loan.  I know they can both be used to buy 1-...

But will make or break your FHA deal with a 3-4 unit......Reserve Requirements 3-4 Unit owner occupied properties must have 3 months PITIThree (3)- and Four (4)-Unit Property The maximum mortgage amount for the three (3) - and four (4)-unit properties is limited, so that the ratio of the monthly mortgage payment, divided by the monthly net rental income does not exceed 100%, regardless of the occupancy status.

When I first started out, I used to do out of state investments (i still have a out of state rental), but personally, I felt I was so detached form my investment, my education was fairly limited (nothing wrong with that if you want hands off), but if you're wanting to start a property management company, I would be hands on It's not easy starting up a business being hands off.

Many transactions are hammered quietly too, do this or else and the accused party does that instead of getting hammered publicly.Ethics is not what an individual might define for themselves, it is a standard of conduct accepted in an industry that allows limited deviations from the norm.

So if you're in a similar scenario as me, the options are rather limited.

I am not totally aware of the limitations conventional mortgages have.

I found a great 5 acre piece of land on the outskirts of my city, yet still in the city limits.
