No more welfare, unemployment, minimum wage, social security or medicare (for people who are under 50 now), medicaid, Section 8, EPA, department of education, department of energy, OSHA, etc.

Jon,I'm trying to follow your math.But, I'm not getting a loan on the property I'm wishing to purchase.I'm getting a loan on my current house which is assessed at 350K and has a zero balance.I don't qualify for a HELOC or a home equity loan because of my credit score so I can only get an FHA loan.The minimum FHA loan I can draw against my home is 80K at 6%Of that 80K...60K would go towards purchasing an investment property....20k would be kept in a separate account to cover unforeseen expenses.I do appreciate the education.

I am primarily concerned with educating myself and gaining experience.
