Your purchase contract confirms your cost.The rare times we are sent a canned internet spreadsheet, or a 20 page PowerPoint presentation explaining why this is a good deal, we immediately know this person is inexperienced and trying too hard.

My opinions are simply some guy on the internet who wants to see you succeed.Ok that all said.

I would not trust some free contract I downloaded off of the internet.

If you can find a way to be on BP, and to manage to ignore Turner, I've got some serious internet chops...just sayin' hah

I would not suggest getting a lease off the internet.

a 401k loan is almost the equivalent of a hard $ loan.oh, and you don't get to deduct the cost of paying those taxes back on your real estate investment.IMO, a lot of people don't have a clue about their true cost of borrowing for this vehicle. it's not mentioned on the internet very much either.there's a guy I know who is an underwriter for a bank and doesn't know about this; I feel bad for people who don't see the true cost of this.search for private loans, bank loans before this. and make sure you know how much of a hit you will take. for a $50k 401k loan, that's almost $15k you eat!

What I am shocked about is how you are considering the future with your girlfriend based on what others are saying on the internet.

I have been searching all over the internet for some ideas of what to do with it (as reasonably as possible) and while I am finding tons of info on interior rehabs, I just can't find too much for the outside. 

@Adrian Reyes  well to state the obvious  crowdfunders gather investors over the internet and through their web pages.Not inviting a 5k investor to your home.. 

I like to think I'm pretty savy when it comes to scouring the internet for free information and kind of figured I would get these responses.
