Have A Cosigner Or Go In Alone?

[Da'Shawn Murphy]

Hey BP! I wanted to ask for an opinion, especially if anyone has been in the same position. Recently graduated college and will be starting work soon, so soon after I will be in position to purchase a property. The options I have would be to go in alone and get a duplex to at least get started and have the ability to rent out the other side. The other option would be to have my grandmother cosign on a loan to have the opportunity to get a 4-plex. However, she has more current debts than I do and we would have to structure how the cash flow would be broken down between us.

I am curious on what your opinions are on which strategy seems more feasible or better for starting off?

Thanks
