Multi family financing

[Dennis Fergus]

Hello, bigger pockets community. I bought my first house hack in Salem, Oregon in 2021. I have struggled to buy another property with high prices, high interest rates and my debt to income. My goal was to buy a small multi family once a year, but has been challenging as a solo investor. My goal is to own a minimum of 10 properties. I haven't really looked at out of state investing because of the down payment. Locally house hacking solves the low down payment problem while living in the house for one year, moving out renting out the property and buying another.  Creative finance sounds amazing if I could find seller's willing to work with me. Any help would be appreciated.
