None of those would be available if you were to buy a commercial building.. not to say that's necessarily a bad thing.. but still just something to think about.I guess my final piece of advise is make sure you get yourself set up for post military success as far as your benefits go (disability and what not).

Unless it's a really , really bad accusation, I don't think your friend will need an attorney. 

Hi guys , I found a good deal in Reading PA5 units multi family with a 12% cap rate after loan, I'm sure there is have something bad if the seller offer this kind.Whst you guys thinking about the area?

They passed the new rules this summer and they are not too bad at all.

I'm curious though, is it a bad idea to buy something that isn't a deal and won't cash flow that much if you're house hacking and just trying to get started?
