I am much more a people person than someone who sits behind a desk doing R, python, and v-look up queries to find fraud trends.

Hello BP, looking for some perspective/opinion on which route to take with $50K cash with the goal of long term buy and hold: Pay cash for a BRRR - $50K Purchase (finance) two $100K properties - $50K down payment (in total)For simplicity, assume my numbers/deal are spot on and the cash flow in both scenarios is the same.Pros of 1 BRR – Left out the R for repeat...as I would hold on to the property - No loan, one property (with same cash flow) – slightly less maintenance as only one set of mechanicalsPros of 2 financed properties – Leverage, mortgage paydown by tenant, more potential appreciation (2 vs 1 property)Cons of 1 BRRR – less rehabbed (just rent ready) vs 2 financed TURNKEY propertiesCons of 2 financed properties – lower cash flow per door, paying additional (taxes, insurance)thoughts?  

Then dig into the CC&R's to check before you buy.If you are looking to buy in Northern Nevada send me a message and I will connect you with the right people (Sorry, I am not an expert on the Las Vegas area).

Thanks @Peter M.We aren't living on one side, the duplex is in Indianapolis where we will renovate both sides, we had to put 25% down since it's an investment, and we will rent...not sure if we can complete the last R (in BRRR, Refi because "Fed are raising interest rates signaling 2 more increases are coming 6/13)  so I locked it in just now!

Edward R. , it sounds like you’ve done most of the research on your neighbors property and it’s still a good buy at the right price.

I have say 3 of these so far like this with my bank.Principal Amount $99,200 , 179 consecutive payments of principal and interest $701.32 every 5 years interest rate is based off US Prime rate plus 1% and year or 2033 will be balloon payment of $37,120.

The situation is this: my HOA is getting several claims from homeowners who want something that is already clearly not allowed by our CC&R’s.
