Hi Everyone,

I'm looking for people's takes on the market and investing at this time. With a recession creeping in soon, should I wait to invest in a duplex?  I've been looking for months but I've been told by some people that it's wise to wait right now, build more cash reserves, then make my play after seeing how the market plays out within the next year. Obviously a deal is a deal, and I'm not going to completely stop looking. However, with interest rates very high, is it wise to ease up a little bit and wait? 

Hi All,

I posted about multi-family back in February. I'm writing again because I've had no luck in finding a duplex to house hack. I'm doing seller letters, reaching out to listing agents to see if their sellers have properties off-market to sell, etc. I'm a Realtor in Columbus, OH but I'm not having any luck yet. What else can I be doing to get in front of the right people?

Thanks!

Hi,

I'm ready to begin my investing with my first property as a duplex. Anyone that could help and give advice about multi-family investing in the Columbus, OH area (or anywhere honestly)? Would appreciate it. 

Awesome! Thank you Taylor. Appreciate it.

New to investing and have questions on financing options.
What is the best way to finance duplex? I'll be living in one side and renting out other, but I want to be able to move out of it in under a year? I have enough to put 20% down and make investment property but this will be my first primary residence so I might as well live in this one for a short time and get out as soon as I can.

Thanks!
