@Denzel Ray Hey at least your foots already in the door and your getting the experience of what it takes to operate your house! From what you told me It sounds like you know what your looking for next (cash flowing; multi family). Thanks for the advice man.

@Denzel Ray Thanks man appreciate the info! I didn't think/intend on using it for more then one property at a time but that's good to know. I've got to get more familiar with FHA requirements. Thanks !

@Colton Roan I highly recommend reading How to Invest in Real Estate by Brandon Turner and Joshua Dorkin! Great read and intro to investing!

@Denzel Ray Great advice! That's what I have in mind to get started as well. Can you continue to repeat the process of using the FHA loan and house hacking with 3.5% down? I've read some forums/listened to some podcasts that say you can and some that you can't I'm looking for some clarification. Thanks in advance!

@Patrick McDevitt I think if your seeing numbers with that much COC ROI you should check it out. Are you investing from out of state? I know Waterbury really well and it's based off the area and how well you screen your perspective tenant. What areas are you looking into?

@Rob Massopust Appreciate that, after reading the book I wasn’t sure if that applied to multi families 100%. Thank you!
