House Hacking and Creative investing
I am new to real estate investing. I was wondering how would you continue to house hack after house hack with low money down? Also, what are your favorite creative investing ideas with low to no money down? Any strategy and tips would be great. Thanks.

If you've met the FHA minimum owner occupancy time requirement, then you can:
1. Refinance your FHA loan into a conventional traditional owner occupied mortgage. However, you'd have to live there for an additional 6months (verify with your lender).
2. Refinance your FHA loan into a conventional investment property (NOO) loan. It'll have less attractive terms and rates, but you don't have to wait that 6months.
3. Sell the duplex.
