I have a tenant who lives in my very nice three bedroom unit whose lease provides a pet authorization for “one dog, one cat and one rabbit.”

Oh I agree with you if that rent will be a business income to live on vs just an unrealized gain.

We are both analytical and enjoy working with numbers.  

After 25 years of co-living have now graduated to one side of a duplex.

If you're comfortable living where you are, equity in your current property or your savings rate would be the two other ways to get your next one which is going to be much slower.

I purchased my first home through NACA to actually live in and I'm curious on how to build my RE portfolio from here.

You have multiple who do this for a living telling you how it works.

Hello, it is a owner passed and child wants out because they are absentee, no section 8 and the tenants have lived there already for long time 13, 6, and 4 years with no desire to leave as long as I can keep the rent same or close to same and they are willing to sign 3 year leases.I have looked at single family houses and have not found a deal that compares.

@Jarrod OchsenbeinIt's great to hear that you are succeeding with the co-living model.

Toxic paint et al.Would you want your family living in house remodeled with cheap Chinese s**t?
