HI Guenevere, You can acquire your a primary residence from up to 1-4 units for as low as 5% with conventional or 3.5% FHA with a few exceptions.

Duplex appraised 380 (super ****ing low ball) brings in an estimated 3,900 a month in rents. buyer agreed and SIGNED addendum to purchase at 397,500. day of closing they dont show, tell us they didnt know what they agreed to pay over appraised value and are trying to get us to accept 386k. my agent had me lock in our month to month long term tenant to a year lease for THEIR lender and now they pull this.. they have only 5k in escrow account.. my agent wont reduce his commission from 3%-2% to help bridge the gap. suggestions??

There is no given answer here, because the whole property needs to be relatively consistent.Kitchens and baths are the common answer, but if they are passable and you choose to invest in them anyways at the expense of peeling paint (or off putting exterior color) and overgrown landscaping, the appraiser and tenant will be walking up with a bad taste in their mouth, thereby not valuing the interior work you have done.But think about the general flow of someone looking to rent: more bedrooms will typically dictate more rent.  

If you're not set on a specific market, it's worth waiting until you choose, as forming the LLC in your target state can simplify compliance, property registration, and taxes. 

what made you choose it over BRRR, or fix n flip?

Thinking about marking them up 20 percent and chsrvyhg interest in the low teens.
