Always make sure some money is set aside for home repairs. Theres ALWAYS something small that needs to be done
Best ive learned is to always maintain a healthy savings because there's always some type of additional expense that pops up.

This may seem like a silly question, but just wondering is it ok to buy a hpuse and just rent out the property even though you haven't paid off the house. My mans mom is almost done paying of her mortgage and plans to rent it out in 2017. His dad rents out his house,but didnt live there for more than a year.
@beaniemac your advice would be appreciated
Been a home owner for 4 years. One of the best decisions I ever made. My advice; Don't let things go for too long. If something needs to be fixed jump on it immediately. Make sure you do your part to make sure your home keeps it's value. If you're going to spend any major amount of money on the house spend it on the kitchen and the bathrooms. This will raise the value of the house and will be like putting money in the bank.

I do not own a home, but I believe that the kitchen\bathtoom part is true because of sanitary reasons.

that's contingent on your credit, income and debt.
Not really. The kitchen is like a family hub. Everyone needs to eat and will be in and out of that room regularly.

you can do that, but most mortgages will ask you if the house is going to be your primary residence. if you tell them you want to use it for rental income, then they will charge you higher interest rates and your homeowners insurance will have to be a landlord policy instead of a standard homeowners policy.
are you planning on getting a house and renting it out, or like a 3 flat and renting out the other units with you living in one of the units?
