Hello! My husband and I purchased our first rental property, a duplex, in July of 2015. We are living in one side and renting out the other. The basement on both sides is unfinished so we are in the process of adding a bedroom and living room in the basement of our side to increase our rental income potential. We hope to be finished by June and plan to move over to the other side of the duplex in September when our renters lease is up. Then we will do it all over again! When we bought the property I never thought I would be so interested in continuing to invest in real estate. I can't wait to find our next deal, hopefully by this fall. We are interested in multifamily properties and are playing with the idea of buying something near a college campus. My husband is in the construction business so he does all of the work himself, which is a blessing and a curse! We love bigger pockets!
