@Michele Fischer Very cool what you're doing with low-income rentals and investments in a neighborhood v. just real estate!

Thanks for responding....ok...cool...Here my situation....I been a approved for a 50K loan from one mortgage company a for townhome. ...then I have a approve letter from another company for 117K...and I want to buy a condo downtown..I seen some for 105K...I was Wonder if it would be possible to get both (live in the condo or rent out the townhouse)...and use all the programs...ithanks in advance..

Note cool little seating in dining room, will be refinished: Another view of dining room showing Butler's pantry door.

If the rental idea you might put in high end rental finishes since you will be living there, but that still will be lower end then flip level usually.One cool thing about if you are going to live in the home is you can go FHA with a 203k loan.

We use Rentec direct and it's pretty cool.

I think it's cool and a smart idea that you reached out for some local help/knowledge here.

Interesting, how cool.

Bill Gulley - If people want that stuff, I'm cool with it.

It affects my confidence in the neighborhood, so I'd like not only to keep my stuff from being stolen but to ensure the thieves are caught when they do strike - potentially preventing dozens of homeowners from suffering the same fate.One I idea I thought I'm pursuing is putting a tracking device on the fridge/stove, or whatever, until the house is occupied.

Cool intro.
