If you're looking to buy bigger buildings that's another ball game altogether.My advice: what investing do you feel most confident and excited about?

If I was starting from scratch, I would buy a duplex/triplex/quadplex, live in the crappiest unit and rent the others out.

If you’re looking to buy and hold and get all 3 benefits that’s the way to go.  

We have made money buying properety based on cash flow (lower priced) rented out for a period, then selling to an owner occupant. 

I am under contract to buy and flip a house that I am paying $615K for. 

Just keep in mind that using that emergency fund to buy your next property and having tapped a HELOC already may leave you in a bad spot if you run into a similar problem again.Also, I’m not 100% sure, but I have heard that personal loans don’t your credit more so than other types of debt so be sure you look into that if you go the personal loans route and then planned to finance your next purchase soon after.

Quote from @Christopher Lynch: I recently watched an episode of BiggerPockets where the guest discussed how he started a real estate investment company and buys commercial properties with 0% down.

From there, you can move on to the BRRRR method with single-family homes—buying undervalued properties, rehabbing them, renting them out, and refinancing to pull out your investment for the next deal.

Quote from @Garrett Cuppels: spent $15 on a book about Airbnb rentalWhat book did you buy?

Sometimes the trailers I buy do still have titles on them, in which case we either have the seller cancel the title with the DMV before we close, or we have them sign the title into our name, and then we cancel the title ourselves.
