Getting started in owner occupied buy and hold.

[Keith Manchester]

I had a plan to save up 20% ($60, 000) for a down payment on a owner occupied $300,000 home. I have been networking with people in my area and I've got varying feed back. Some say that's a good plan and some say split it in half and get two! Live in one and rent out the other. I also hear on the podcast more often than not that people wished they had gone bigger on their first venture into REI. What are your thoughts BP??
