We are not on an internet platform yet ( will be in less than 30 days), and still have had some deals filled up in less than 6 hours after sending email to our investors.

Here's my background:23 years old and looking to get into buy & hold / rentalsFound a lender that prequalified me for the following: -owner occupied single family - 20% down 30yr fixed-investment SFR - 20% down 30yr fixed (higher rate)-investment duplex - 25% down 30yr fixedI have savings which would make 20-25% down feasible up to a certain price point, however if I am putting all of the funds I have available for investing into one down payment, I want to make sure ROI is worthwhile.Also I was assured FHA would be no problem given my financial situation.I am renting my current residence $850/mo including all utilities, cable, internet, etcGiven all of this I am having a hard time deciding whether I should house hack/ owner occupy a multi unit FHA, or look into an investment rental and continue living in my comfortable and affordable rented space.

I'm jumping the gun, but I can't help satisfy the curiosity of a quick internet search for homes up for sale.

If you don't have a programmable thermostat, that sounds like it would be a worthwhile investment in this case.Another option would be to bring in a company to give the property a home energy audit.

Real estate is the next field I would like to broaden my horizons in and through a few internet searches came by this site fairly quickly.

I have had others with an internet business that I did not bother with. 

Lenders too, though we tend to already be pretty good at math - it's just new equations that need to become part of our daily vocabulary *on top of* fannie/freddie/fha/va ways of doing math.We have an entire generation of people screwing themselves out of homeownership because they are listening to their parents, except for those among them that are going to be doctors/lawyers/accountants/programmers/etc.

Why would you post this on the Internet, as opposed to asking your CPA?

Anything can be learned on the Internet or via networking.

of cable/internet bills, I really didn't want to be involved in that!
