I currently manage my wife's duplex, and we're hoping to reposition ourselves so we can buy a home to live in and still purchase investment property, but one that can pay for itself.

This is my current situation.

I also advertise before someone moves out to get a new tenant before the current one leaves. 100% occupancy on a LTR is very common for me.No idea on a MTR.

Hi BP community - I'm an investor with 3 SFHs in the Nashville area looking to acquire my first small multifamily property (2-4 units).I'm trying to determine the best approach for the 25% downpayment, comparing using cash that is currently sitting in a high yield savings account to funds from a HELOC on one of my properties.

My agent is currently finding best rates with Travelers.   

Our current manager is in Huntsville and it is becoming clear that we need someone more local to Cullman who can be on top of showing our listings and taking charge of maintenance and repairs as needs arise. 

Real estate investing has been a passion of mine for time with my mother also having invested early on where I likely have gotten the love and desire to follow similar foot steps.I have taken last 6 months to educate myself and currently own a single family home as primary residence and would like to expand to multi family properties (2-4 units) for additional stream of income, not to mention potential tax benefits for long-term investing.Based on current living situation, I have a fair amount of equity established in my primary residency along with having enough cash to either pay off house completely or use towards investing in a multi family property.Given that I'm the sole source of income for our household with my wife being the home maker for our two kids under 2, trying to weigh out risks with getting started now or perhaps waiting.

I’m reaching out with an investment opportunity in a real estate flip project, and I’m currently seeking a limited partner to join me.With a strong track record of successful real estate investments, I am looking to partner with someone who shares an interest in capitalizing on the potential of this market.

That's what I would do, and currently am doing, to have enough income from real estate to buy back my time when I'm ready.To each their own.
