Purchase price: $255,000 Cash invested: $100,000 Single family residential home in A Class neighborhood.

Initially, my husband and I were searching for a single-family home.

Closing on the duplex first and then finding a single-family rental works well. 

Having a backup plan, such as a HELOC or alternative financing options, could provide added flexibility.With loans spread across 19 single-family homes, consolidating into a portfolio loan might simplify management and offer greater long-term stability.

The last Liability only policy we did was 7 Single family rentals in FL, $1M of coverage for $1,700 per year. 

A flip, single family rental or small multi family rental?

My short-term goal is to secure my first single-family and rental property, while my long-term vision is to build a thriving real estate portfolio that generates wealth and financial freedom.I’m currently learning the ins and outs of financing, deal analysis, and market selection.

To clarify my previous post: 80% LTV is available on single family homes, 75% LTV is available for 2-4 units. 

Since you're focused on single-family homes but open to multifamily, a few key resources can help you level up quickly.

Maybe concrete single-family 1-4 units depending on the price point and cash flow.Also there is no real MLS in Puerto Rico you need to find an agent for each area you want to look at.
