Hey everyone, I'm currently a property manager in Columbia South Carolina for a newly developed student housing community.

Now that we're moving back to KY I want to ease into it since I first and foremost have a family (3 kids) to settle in.Have identified a couple of MFs so will look deep into those.

To that end, I was just talking with my wife, and we both agree that, right now, our two best options are A) go through FHA, if possible, and get a two-family home (we'd be first time buyers), that way we can live in one side and have the other pay our mortgage, and we'll be able to save what we would have spent on rent toward a decent down payment, and B) spend some time REALLY learning how to identify darn good deals, so that, even if we can't buy them, we can wholesale them and earn a little money that we can, again, sock away toward a significant down payment.

Clyde:Check with your city's Chamber of Commerce and the Economic Development people for your state or county and ask them what businesses are looking to expand or move into the area.  

Shoot us an email or give us a call when you identify some properties.

Currently obtaining permitting to develop a portion of my 3 acre commercial property into a 14-space park model RV park.  

Together with a number of partners, including a Project Manager of a well-known national RE Developer, we have formed GreenSpire Properties, which will kick off our RE investment business.

I've actually developed a fear from reading BP in the nightmare of getting rid of an unwanted squatting tenant that won't pay rent, but the process in getting them out is horrible.

Identify and split out appliances into their own categories.  

This is due to reluctance to sell family property to a "get rich quick" guy or the always evil "developer".
