Quote from @Alecia Loveless: @Don Konipol Most of my deals have been bought for less than market value.

I am a realtor in Marlyand and last year I bought my first duplex which I currently house hack.

Has anybody successfully bought properties with lease options ?

The purchase price is $325,000, and as part of an end-of-year incentive, DR Horton bought the interest rate down to 3.99%.

When you bought the property you got an appraisal.

These do require more time and organization though.Looking forward, after 5+ years of owning a property, assuming you bought in an appreciating area, you should have enough equity built up via tenants paying down your mortgage for you and appreciation to refinance out of the VA loan (if you haven't already) or even cashout to buy more or to supplement your earnings.Theoretically, if you have enough properties you could refinance at least one a year.

From what I can tell one bought 800 acres and another 100 acres. 

@Bruce Lynn  Quest was bought by Inspera from Chocago in September, 2024 and is no more a seperate company. 

I bought my home distressed but just enough where I can live in it.

My mom bought a home in Puerto Rico BY HERSELF when I was around 7 years old.
