Then taking any cash made on that project, reinvesting it into the next, and growing cash reserved over time. 

This way, you can continue scaling your portfolio, leveraging the benefits of owner-occupied financing while building equity in each property.It's a great way to grow your portfolio while taking advantage of favorable loan terms typically reserved for primary residences.

. $200K is a down payment and some reserve money for a duplex here in Denver so buying all cash here is out of the question.

Here's my lease language:(k) Yards, patios, balconies, vestibules, hallways, and entrances may not be used to store belongings or to dry clothes.

we can buy pre made contracts at the stationary stores .. they have been there for decades.

Budgeting with reserves: Roof, HVAC, and everything else that will wear out over time.Home warranty buyers = people bad at math. 

Things about condos to consider: HOA fee always goes up and has special assessments so you need reserve funds.

The reserve price wasn't met, but it's set very overpriced, and I don't think anyone would meet that price.The day after I won the auction, I received an email stating that the seller is offering all eligible bidders the chance to place another bid.

If they are both condos, knowing what the monthly fees will be along with the reserves and how well they are run is critical. 

This is a concern given the new law in FL requiring an engineering survey by December 2024 and funding of reserves.
