How do I buy(set up) buying House Hacking#2

[Joshua Hughes]

Alright guys so I finally committed and bought my first house! :) Closing was definitely a new experience- I am glad I was able to use the stuff I read about over the several years of analyzing. Now to my question - Going after my second house hack. Where do I get this money b/c I'm seeing a lot of newbies saying they get into 5+ rentals in two years. It took me personally years to save up the cost of buying this first house hack. Closing costs, DP, Appliances etc. Though this is a basic question I know; am I using all of the money from the rooms I'm renting in my first house hack to use as a down payment on the second HH#2? I've done all the bigger pockets analyzing so it will cashflow as a rental "barely"...In my experience reading books I haven't seen much about how to get into the second home? I used the 3 percent down so there is about 10 percent equity in my home because of the after-appraisal value. No more renovations can be done to this house. So, to sum up- I don't see an equity move and getting a hard money lender to cover seems like they would hurt me in the approval process since they wouldn't take the rents for potentially two years in. Is this the right forum to as this question?

PS- I bought a SFH, first househack* Duplex second potentially*

Thank you in Advance :)
