Talk with Emerald Home Advisors I'd bet that's the best option for you. I spoke with a realtor there before Jessica Wathen, really nice gal and all that, but anyhow... She said there's no monthly broker fee there and there's only like 4 agents with this broker. Said everyone pretty much just does their own thing there.

I'm pretty sure you can invest with Josh Dorkin or any of these BP guys. I haven't looked into it with the BP guys but ashcroftcapital.com with Joe Fearless one of the billionaire real estate guys.... You can invest with them and they show you what you're rate of return will be depending on your amount/time invested. Like I said I haven't looked myself with any of the BP creators personal websites but I'm sure if you look up any of them they will have an INVEST option and explain how you can invest with them.

Hello Carla, restating some of what others said, you can use a HELOC on your home or cash out refi it. Depending on how you are going to handle that money, and how fast you can pay back will determine what the best option is for you.

I'd also really reflect and see how well of an understanding you have on rehabbing and managing a rehab before going full BRRRR with all your savings.

Before going out and using a dime of your money, I really think you should find an investor locally who does what you are trying to do. Get talking to someone who does BRRR or at the least has flipped many houses. Get them to be your mentor, finding the right mentor is going to help you tremendously. It'll help save you from disastrous mistakes and losing all your hard earned money. $20,000 will go right out the window faster than you think with the wrong deal or mistake. Not to say you don't have the opportunity with your situation to succeed, but you need the right plan too because you won't be able to bounce back as easily as someone with say, $300,000 who can make a mistake or two and keep going.

Wish you the best! You can do this! Good luck!

Hi Bryant,

I'd agree with others to keep the lower interest rate you have with the current duplex is probably the best bet. I am not a lender so forewarning don't take what I or anyone else says here as absolutely correct....but If you do this refinance my understanding is you will have to pay for closing costs again usually 2-3% of the loan value, the application origination fees again, and possibly an appraisal again. Depending on your circumstances there are exceptions to have a second FHA loan.

Anyhow, I'm an agent, investor and pediatric ICU nurse in the Cincinnati area. If you have any questions I may be able to help you with reach out, or just to connect and talk real estate reach out too!

Best of luck in your endeavors!

Try Daniel with TRU Facility Solutions (513-725-6502) I don't think he has a website. He did a heavy turn for me and it was good work. 


 Would you be alright with it if I reached out to Daniel too Justin? I've  had a tough time finding a reliable contractor in this area too. Thank you!

 Does the 1% rule still stand here? 


 I would almost always recommend at least the 1% rule for here.

Depending on where you want to invest here, will all depend how much of a cash flow you will get.

Quote from @James Hamling:

@Bryce Veazey Do you have a bit more detail on what area of Twin Cities? Just saying 1hr radius of Twin Cities is a MASSIVE area, it's like saying 1hr radius of DFW. It takes more then an hour just to cross the Twin Cities itself. 

There is satellite markets to Twin Cities that tick the box of "affordable" still, although that's rapidly disappearing. 

"More affordable" is a perceptual term, all depends where one is measuring the Twin Cities by. Vs L.A., yeah, T.C. is more affordable, vs OH, no, T.C. will give an OH person a stroke. 

And the simple fact stands, the places where everyone wants to be cost a lot more $ then the areas everyone is working to get out of. 


 Funny you mention OH people getting a stroke lol I'm a real estate agent/investor in Cincinnati, Ohio but also a travel nurse currently working at MN Childrens PICU!

And you are right I was considering buying a house here as I may work here for a few contracts and houses to us OH folk seem way over priced for what you get lol But I still may look into buying a house and maybe we can work together :)
