For the BRRRR process I plan on using a hard money lender for the rehab process for the SFH's but what I'm not sure of is, should I purchase a duplex and rent one unit out and live in the other or should I just rent for now, not purchase a duplex and just purchase a SFH with cash and start BRRRR'n immediately?

At least plan B does not sound a complete bad idea now.Thank you!

If you set it up well, don't worry, you'll get guests when you repost.If you really want to capture the existing bookings, then go for it and plan to re-furnish it at the start of slow season.

I don't plan to hire an outside group. 

We just completed 6-unit one bed one bath apartment in midtown Sacramento, CA As we are considering doing MTR, your feedback on how to move forward with this plan is appreciated  

Good point, if you have plans to sell in the near future, could be better to wait.

It would cash flow nicely.One item to plan for from the beginning is the exit. 

In 2025 I plan on purchasing my first home.

Another time I sold a property that had no off street parking, because tenants didn't like not having no place to park their cars except the street.

I definitely plan on building a team in the market we select.
