Any philly investors with more than one Multi units ??
hey everyone, with the lowest interest rate in many months now here. Would like to purchase very soon. Im 26 with 60k for a property. I live in North Jersey which the taxes really make it not worth buying along with the salt tax. I have the following choices.
1. move to Philly and buy a 2 or 3 unit property to house hack with the hope of getting 4-6% cocr after one year living in one of the units.
2. purchase a townhome in Philly and airbnb it
3. purchase a single family house and rent out the rooms in Philly.
i would be doing a conventional loan as i do want to do fha since rates are low now trying to see which method would yield me to cash flow / live rent free with some cash flow. i read many books and all say you profit when you buy so i want to buy right. i can buy up to 420k and no debt. what method makes the most sense? i have not found any property that cash flows or breaks even which makes me think all prices due to the seller's market is over price by 10%
