I am looking forward to get more connections here to grow business, learning new skills and meeting new people.Thanks!

Federal loan interest rates currently sit at 3.73%, roughly the same rate as a 30-year mortgage, but is 0% until May 2022.Some factors I've considered that make this taking this $4,000 attractive:- I may be able to obtain lower interest rates with a larger down payment, offsetting student debt interest- Avoiding PMI by making a down payment over 20%- Booming housing market in my city with consistently increasing equity- Living several years in the home leaving time to grow equity, potentially making much more than I owe in student debt While all this may be legal, my biggest question is this - does this sound like a smart investment strategy?

After we sold our home in another City (dayton), we put 30% down on the condo in faster growing market that was Carson City.

Owner financing, conversion from a 2/1 to a 3/2, rapidly growing area of town, STR permit from Wilmington, creation of new partnership, so many things to love about this one.

After a few years of meeting every month the group continued to grow and I built relationships with some great people."

The time has come to start investing and I am eager to get my first small multifamily property under my belt in the Iowa City and Cedar Rapids area! 

(because you will most likely grow like Michael said).

If I can find a city that is growing in both areas then I would put that as a potential for further research. 3.Once i've created a list of areas that are of interest I then start looking at the average sale price for the location.

My goals with joining BiggerPockets is to grow my network in the Real Estate industry, and ultimately buy my first rental property/househack.

We did want acreage, although it's not our ideal locationAdvantages - enjoy the acreage, lock in the gains on our current home, let our income grow over the next few years and purchase a "dream" property in a more desirable location.I also believe this would increase our gains significantlyDisadvantages - maintaining acreage, cost of moving and getting a new home built or M/H setup, and having to move in a few more years.
