Do they say "second kitchen"?

It may no cover just the two kitchens.  

I considered SFH where I'd rent out all the rooms and keep one to myself, but this seems risky since I'll realistically be away for months at a time and couldn't manage the unit/other tenants.Then I came across some listings that appear to be hotel rooms for sale, with basically the facilities I need (a bed, toilet, kitchen), a price point I can handle (270-500k$, I'd do 20% down), and fairly high HOAs (~1500$/m?).

The small leaking pipe in the kitchen is likely a water supply line and a plumber can fix it.

One bedroom still needs a kitchen, bathroom, seperate electrical panels, seperate HVAC.

A lot of people can swing the 6% on a permanent basis, but not in years 1 and 2 when they have to buy all the "accessories" that come with a new home, like the new furniture, the redone kitchen, landscaping the yard, bla bla bla.By frontloading the monthly savings into year 1, poof, we've created a furniture budget. 

Use the equity in our current home to build a kitchen in the basement and convert said home to a duplex.

Hey John, I moved to Columbus a few years ago (from Portland, Oregon which was super expensive) to become a full time real estate investor, and ever since, I've completed quite a lot of BRRRRs, flips, and own a successful rental portfolio here in Columbus Ohio.

It would be best to get it from friends and familyThose with little experience are struggling to raise money (I am in a group with 20+ syndicators and everyone is raising less and those who are first timers are basically drying up after first $500k-$1M)As mentioned syndication route would be your best bet but make sure to have a great plan in place on what you are going to do and how you will exit

Note: would be using 50k to pay off my debt at closing.Plan a: Buy into a 1.2m retirement home style 18 unit property (18 doors, 5 bathrooms, commercial kitchen, etc) with $200k.
