Quote from @Roger Flot: I was reviewing some renovated listings in my area and one indicated that even though the house was originally built in 1920, because of all the renovations bringing the house to current code, that you could get 2024 rates on insurance. 

It's no different than their 2-year, low interest rate teaser houses.

Housing two STRs and four LTRs What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Please see the rough numbers below :Tear down house price 350k,Construction cost 165 sqft * 2 build=627k Darnell, did you get your questions answered?

If I were you I would look into the possibility of starting off with a house hack.

On my second house hack, I am hoping to scale beyond small multis soon. 

Attend your local REI meet-ups and try to find someone who is currently house-hacking or has house-hacked in the past to learn from their experience.

That way, you keep more in reserves and have more to put towards your next house hack.

I also pay my mortgage for the house I live in.
