I've been buying/flipping and buying/holding in Northern VA for the past 10 yrs.  

Definitely should consider house hacking a 4 flat living in for 1-2 years then move out and rent 4th unitI also like the live in flip idea, find a place you can live in but update over 2 year period then sell as this income is tax free upon sale up to $500k profit for couple $250k for single but now you’re married HUGE fan of both strategies by I’m doing second myself and just finished rehab and rinse repeat every 2 yrs Also I believe @Mindy Jensen has done this as well in the pastAlso keep doing what you’re doing never stop!

I think we will see some good appreciation in the next 5 yrs due to supply/demand/interest rates/buyer confidence.

We still own our first unit (single family condo). 30 yr loan and 10 yrs later wish we could just dump it off our books.

I would like to secure small scale loans for acquiring properties through a purchase money mortgage, but don't have the understanding on how to provide security to an investor...For example:Duplex purchased: $100,000Investor funded: $25,000 ($15k down/ $10k repairs and holding costs)Seller Carry: $75kI would offer 10% on a short-term note (2-3 yrs.) with interest only payments and principal due at maturity.

There are two types of loans; General TSP Loan (12-60 Mo) and Real Estate (up to 15 Yrs). 

Have a 30 with 27 yrs left and plan to cut it to a 20.

If you want a great deal look into the NSP programs around here both my sister and I have bought houses through these and you cannot beat the deal (Prices have gone up since this but I bought a Fully rehabbed 3/3 for 69k with 30k deferred for 15 years and if you keep it for 15 yrs the 30k is washed). 

My name is Alex Rodriguez, I am 21 yrs old and a Realtor in the city of Downey CA.

Residential mortgages in Canada must be amortized at 25yrs or less and mortgage terms range from 6-mths to 10-yrs with the most frequent, but not statistically the best, choice being a 5-yr term fixed rate.
