Trying to get started after divorce

[Michael Zollars]

I am 26 with two kids that I have half the time. I am currently renting but should have around 10,000+ for a down payment after I get the settlement money from the house my ex and I owned. I’m trying to decide if I should buy single family and rehab it doing the work myself then refinance buy another property and rent that one. Or should I try to find a duplex and house hack problem being only one is currently listed on local mls and rent wouldn’t even cover the mortgage.
