Is there a better way?

[Dan Kim]

My wife and I are looking to purchase our first home to live in. We're hoping to renovate and then refinance this home to have the cash to purchase our first investment property, ideally being a MFH. Since the goal is to build a portfolio, is there a smarter or quicker way to land our first investment property? We would like a SFH to call our home so starting out in a MFH and house hacking isn't that appealing to us.
