Is it just a combination of things such as school systems, driving the neighborhood, crime rates etc?

My wife and I make a combined $xx,000 in annual salaries and we can afford the lease.

Sometimes those combined with low overall water pressure leads to issues.

Once that is done in the next 24 months, combine both mortgages.

Secondly, FHA loans don't have conventional PMI; they have instead MIP, which is paid in some combination of upfront points and potentially some extra monthly expenses.You can do a lot of reading about the different loan types, advantages, and disadvantages here and elsewhere.

There is also mentors who will charge 35k+ (combined diwnpayments for my first 2 deals)

LTV varies as to types of properties from portfolio lenders, an SBA loan may go to 80% on an office warehouse, it may be 60% on a mom and pop dairy queen, it might be 70% for light industrial and combined loan to values, as with purchase money second mortgages may exceed 80%.

Not advertised, the lead was from walking a talking.My student located two more, by walking and talking, off market opportunities, one a failed rehab, another a move-in ready with clean up, the rehab on a sub-to maybe, the other we'll see tonight when I hit the guy up with seller financing, maybe a combination of hard money and SF, we will see.The other property is one I knew of that was going to the market, has been sitting, a tri-plex that can probably be another combination of hard money and seller financing.It will take 30 days without jumping through our tails to close one.When we began, at the end of November/ first of December I think, I told him that he could probably be a landlord by May, that was considering his investor's backing.

My entire first floor is a modern functioning office, but I’ve never claimed it for tax purposes.

You could literally do hundreds of transactions in sequence by recycling the same dollars and pay the set-up costs only once.The securities option is a bit cumbersome in the beginning and requires some annual upkeep, but it is this option combined with the borrowing option that allowed me to grow my business from zero to over $30 million in assets under management.
