In my mind, if the deal were all cash, and investors only signed up if they knew what they were getting into, its quite hard for anything bad to happen, other than a significant underestimation of costs (completely preventable with duedil before appearing on the platform), or supply outgrows demand (which is a long way off for Ireland).

Hello, I am looking to purchase a 2-family unit in Boston, MA for the first time.Fannie Mae implemented a new rule that says "If the borrower currently owns a principal residence (or has a current housing expense)..." does renting from a family member for under market value count as housing expense?

I've been a bigger pockets and Graham Stephen youtube listener for some time and now trying to implement the things I've learned. 

I've done a pretty deep dive on research for the flood events, and feel quite comfortable that it's ok in that respect, this is more with just dealing with how to rebuild what was lost in the past and prevent it in the future.

So I have quite a bit of information and education but I am seeking much, much more and I am looking to begin applying and implementing the information I already have.

So I have quite a bit of information and education but I am seeking much, much more and I am looking to begin applying and implementing the information I already have.

Then find ways to prevent the problems before they happen.

I don't like having 100% equity in the property because it prevents me from putting those funds to work, but I also don't want to get a lot less money than I can from the lender on the value of the home.Any opinion welcome

Also, is there any recommended coaching programs or potential mentors that would be worth recommending to help prevent as many beginner mistakes as possible?

The other stuff is more for future prevention for our portfolio.
