@Barney Shipman You're getting a decent return on your first condo. 

Looking for experienced advice on these specific protections.

I started with a simple 100k unsecured LOC back in 92 and leveraged that up to over 15 mil in Guidance lines and well over 100 mil borrowed from them for development and construction loans..

Just going over the recently sold homes on Zillow and other sites, i am seeing a lot of homes being purchased for 20-30 k and sold for 150k plus.

What say you, If you have a deed of trust it will last to  the payable date on the Deed .

And while I’m no fan of extended warranties, they charge 10% of sales price for 5 additional years. 6 years on a fridge with an icemaker is a good deal at $100-$120. 

FHA LoanDown payment: Just 3.5%More flexible on credit and debt-to-income ratiosYou can use gift funds for the down paymentAllows multi-family (up to 4 units) if you live in one — great if you’re house hacking curiousExample: For a $300K home, you'd need ~$10,500 down (plus some for closing costs, which can sometimes be covered by seller credits or down payment assistance)2.

Regardless of the type of investing you focus on, two critical, but often overlooked, pillars for long-term success are tax planning and asset protection.

that's awesome, congrats on this win!

What kinds of properties would you like to focus on?
