I bought 14 houses basically for free by harvesting the equity in my houses by doing 5 cash out refis.

Investment Info:

Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

Purchase price: $360,000

We bought this stacked duplex, lived in one unit for 2 years and moved on. Didn't really put much into ...

I have had 3 people email me this weekend who are over leveraged and also cash strapped in that they have repairs of $5k or more, o cash to repair and without repairing cannot release unit.

@Phillip Austin someone who obviously should not rent but buy themselves a brand new house. what was their previous place?  

You can have two houses within a quarter mile of each other with vastly different ARV and rent amounts.

Anyone in NWA looking to house hack a 4plex?

This is because I'm concerned that even though the things in the house I can see look great things like the electrical, plumbing, or the foundation may need major repair if not immediately relatively soon. 

I’m currently house hacking in a duplex with a 130 yr old fieldstone foundation.

If it’s a 1910 mansion you obviously need a boatload more to pay for maintenance/repairs than a 2025 condo.
