You can take out one loan for a 4-flatyou can bake in maintenance costs into the rent for the other 3 units (depending on the property and location)if you play it right, the other 3 units will cover all PITI payments for the entire 4-flatBONUS: you can then save whatever you're currently paying for rent, and after 12 months, turn around and buy an out-of-state SFH - then you're renting out 4 units in a 2 year timeframe. 

The flame was just recently reignited and I'm fighting the urge to over analyze everything daily and I have to say that BP has played an incredible role in my action thus far and for that my future success will be forever indebted to both Josh Dorkin and Brandon Turner and the countless other seasoned investors imparting all their experiences with us.My REI goals are to focus initially on building my wholesaling business and build an incredible marketing system that allows me to do 1 to 2 deals a month until I can save and reinvest enough capital to be able to turn my strategies to fix and flips and ultimately build an incredible RE portfolio that brings in enough cash flow every month that will replace my income for my full time job so that I could focus that 240hrs/month on my REI business and to continue in my pursuit in attaining my Doctorate in Nursing. 

In my mind, the help from my mom is a powerful asset that we can both use to get our feet wet with real estate. 

Another lawyer ***** that I the displeasure of closing with, she chose a time for closing one day, and when I arrived, she was at lunch, she berated the staff in front of me for stupid stuff, really struggled with the power of attorney we have used for years (made by another local lawyer) and ended up writing her own power of attorney - That she wouldn't even let us keep hold of???

Play the long game...my two cents.  

Playing the role of "bank"), I'm assuming I could still lease option the home out with minimal concern of a "due on sale" clause to be called...  

Lastly, if you have determined that $75K is your max, don't play games and offer less thinking that the counters will land at $75K or better.  

that is the crux of the matter... when jobs leave people leave with them and like we have out here in the West.. ( Ghost Towns)  its just normal commerce at play.

If this is a summary probate (PC 13150) there are no interim duties or powers granted the petitioner.

I'm not trying to play the innocent victim, we did some things wrong and have learned our lesson.
