Looking to buy 2nd duplex
Hey Everyone-
I purchased my first duplex with an FHA loan and am currently house hacking (about 6 months in).
I’m not living for free. But pretty close. And I’m paying much less than I would if I was renting.
I’m looking to grow my portfolio and pick up another duplex that will cash flow. With that I will be truly living for free and will have extra money to make improvements, save, etc.
My question is; what would be the fastest way to acquire another property? Refi to a conventional and FHA again? Hard money lender? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you in advance.
