I just purchased my first duplex (only SFHs in my portfolio so far) and it doesn't have the gas/water split.

They develop, they build, they finance, they property manage, they will have HAO, cleaning crew etc. etc. etc. so the subsidiary companies make money every step of the way.From investor perspective: The investor pay $15 K to reserve the right to purchase 25 multiplex over the year of next 5 years. 5 each year.

We recently came upon a small property and are seriously thinking about purchasing our first rental!

I currently own one property, and I’m planning to purchase another.

Or, you could move out and leave this first purchase as a rental and buy another.

I am under contract to purchase a Quadplex.

This growth typically drives significant appreciation, which is the key to making this strategy work.For example:Let’s say you purchase a property for $300,000 with 25% down in a market with an 8% annual appreciation rate.

Unless it is a new build, and it comes with purchase warranties are an extra cost and may or may not even be executed when needed depending on the circumstances. 

My name is Ashley Kroft and my mother-in-law has a property in El Paso, TX that will be refinanced soon to purchase my husband and I's first rental property.

We purchased the house about 3 months ago and are owner financing it.
