New build duplex house hack
Building a new duplex to start my real estate career. I am currently renting but I like the idea of house hacking to start out. I am curious as a first time home buyer how the finances will work. My idea is to build a duplex myself with the help of family/friends. I will need to pay my help as we go. We will not be able to do 100% of the work and will have to hire some out. How will the loan work exactly? What type of loan would be the best with the least amount down. Thank you for any input!
