Win Win in my book.Now, using is as an investment vessel could be a whole different story, but I still see it as being a potential tool, especially to help someone that doesn't have the liquid assets to jump right in the game.

Pretend you are seeking them out as an advisor foe a "new and young investor that just wants to be sure you do things by the books and you see the city as a teammate".

@Matt Ritchie the situation you describe really gives you the flexibility to choose which way you want to create the financing.Option 1: The local banks/credit unions will probably agree to get all 4 duplexes under one commercial loan:Pros: one set loan fees, one set of books, one tax filing companyCons: Balloon type mortgage, shorter amortization period, all properties will have to be under one entity and you normally won't be able to sell just one of themOption 2: Separate loans (local banks or even the big banks)Cons: 4 sets of loan docs, feesPros: you can get a conventional loan with a 30 year fixed for each property, you can partner with different partners foe each property, you can get partners to be the loan guarantors separately and you can sell each duplex off at any given time.

Basically, I'm just a young and hungry student for turning real estate investments in to my vessel for semi passive income.

Sorry I don't have a name for you but some tips.Contact local title companies, they have an attorney and they will likely be the most experienced in RE matters.The same holds true for the Board of Realtors, their attorney should be well versed in local RE matters.....however, they may feel that with you being an investor they could be in a bind representing you and a possible foe, that will be up to them.I've been told by several attorneys that the last ones to hire are those who advertise alot, which makes sence, they have high overhead and can't work off their reputation.

Andrea Tapp Not sure that was meant foe me as well or you just wanted me to see you thanking Brian, either way, I'll be happy to teach you as well. 

It didn’t make sense foe me to have her occupy one of my properties then find a new tenant for the new property.
