Now i know that i should stay at my job for 2 years and save up 3.5 to 5 % for a FHA loan but i thought id ask about any other advantages maybe a side job or a better job opportunity anything to start investing now than later. 

You don't want to purchase a property only to find out later that it is a horrible deal.

Said he couldn’t do that2 years later after we cleaned the land up and put a commercial building on the property the same appraiser did $120,000 per acre.  

I later found out that they are in a "moderate" crime area.

Called me a week later How did you finance this deal?

Hey Lee - I just read the description on that episode and am definitely looking forward to listening to it later today!

Escrowing for improvements to be done later won't work. 

I know the property will hold the income restrictions when I go to sell at a later date but the community is all 800k-1.2 Million properties so it is desirable  so I am not so much worried about that aspect of it.thank you

Be sympathetic to the fact that you are displacing someone from their home.Meet with Tenant 1 a day later.

Bigger Pockets has a book coming out later this month on STR investing that details how to choose a market. www.biggerpockets.com/strbookI know what it details because I wrote it:)
