Best way to acquire 2nd property?

I just purchased my 1st duplex in January. Renovated and tenants area now paying 100% off the mortgage. 

What is the best way to acquire a 2nd rental property? I've already used my FHA so I'm thinking conventional 20% down?


Which route do I go to fund it? I’m starting to work more hours at my job to save 40k-50k. It’s not going to be easy but if there’s other routes to achieve capital too that’s easier I’m willing to hear it.

2 thoughts here. 1. Conventional doesn’t have to be 20%, it can be 5% or even less. 2. Does the second property have to be a house hack? 

I ask because brrrr will scale much faster and 20% down will keep your money tied up. Food for thought. Best wishes to your success
