Moving back home with parents to buy first rental

[Chris Momongan]

We bought our first house in 2018 in Norcross, Ga and are listing our house for sell this week with hopes of netting 100k.  We our unhappy with our current jobs and are looking to get new jobs and move back home with my parents in Augusta, Ga.  We plan on saving money living with my parents and buying our first rental in Augusta, which is a smaller market but is much more affordable for us .  Like to get any advice on what I should consider during this crazy change.  Thanks!

That is a bold move and one that should help you get ahead in the long run. Best of luck! Augusta is a great market.

Why not look at buying a duplex where you can rent half and live in the other half for a while.  Done right, this should decrease your living expenses.

Like Winn said- bold move which I'm sure will work out great for you long term! 

I assume you'll sell the Norcross house, pocket the $100k, move back in with your parents for a few months while you:

1. find another home to househack and purchase using low down payment financing (fha, va, usda) to preserve your capital stack

2. purchase a rental using traditional 20% down financing (if you have trouble qualifying for conventional debt look into a DSCR loan product).

3. Save some of that cash you you can move into another househack in 2023 and pick up another DSCR funded rental

sounds like a good plan to me!

Welcome back to Augusta. My wife and I love it here.

I'd practice and get good at sales and communication. That's what works for me.
