My husband are new to the game and have an opportunity to buy a neighbors house at a low cost.

Wish I had a cleaner answer, but everyone is going to want you to have skin in the game.

Hi Guys, Have any of you ever felt yourself hitting a wall when it comes to your investing goals?🙋🏾♀️I have been thinking a lot about finding an investment mentor to talk some decisions through with but for the fun of...

My hope/thinking was to keep the tenants for those short months while I fixed the second floor and got it rented.

We submitted a short sale package to his lender and they approved him for a FHA Waterfall modification with a 3 month trial period. 

Or any tips you have for someone starting fresh in the game?

2) Did you intend to operate it as a short term rental, but then plans changed once you learned the CCRs only allow terms of 6 mos or more?
