Meaning, with the amount of capital that we've been able to save, about $100K, we like to use that to pay for rehab, sell the house, and get it all back plus our profit so that we can "turn the crank again" on the next property and keep growing that nest egg.

If you do that a few times you will only be around 35 years old and should be sitting on a pretty sizeable nest egg to invest with, where you can have an LLC and put 20% down on future properties no problem.

Personally, I’d recommend owning the multi family unit outright if the profits cover your nest egg and allow you to escape the rat race because, at that point, money is just a game - you can build real wealth if your living expenses are entirely covered.

To be honest 400k is not a lot of $$ to invest so my advice is to be as conservative as possible with the goal of keeping as much of your nest egg as possible, learn as much as you can and grow your asset value over time (long game remember?) 

I’ve accumulated a substantial nest egg after college and paid off all student loan debt.

I'm 16, turning 17 in a few weeks, and I was wondering what my best course(s) of action would be up until I leave the nest so to speak when I graduate in June 2022.

I also did LED lighting, and looked for efficient appliances, installed a nest thermostat and water sense fixtures, one of the bigger things I did to start was remove and update some of the lead piping in the home and install a whole house water filtration system since the supply lines from the city are still lead.

I also looked for ways to improve the tenants unit at the same time to make them less likely to complain -- for example, adding a video doorbell and a Nest thermostat.4.

One SIL has a nice discreet nest-egg that she trusts us with to dabble in short-term property deals & she loves the returns & probably the intrigue.
