It takes you through the whole process, including specific details on how to analyze a deal.Avoiding Rookie Errors as a Left Field Investor by @Steve S..

@Gladys Villa how much experience will you gain if you buy a 2-4 unit, live in one unit and rent out the other(s)?

That is the only person/s that can sell you the property.

This has had a net positive effect on mortgage rates with prime Government and Conventional (FHA/VA) often beginning with a 5 in the front and some DSCR rates now in the 6%'s...The on the ground response is likely a dramatic increase in buyer activity/competition.

Also no insurance.Finally, the IRS Audit likelihood for a 1040 with 6 Schedule E properties is about 10 times as likely as a 1065 (with your spouse) or an S-Corp.Then you can get a single K-1 and do your own tax with Turbo Tax.

Growing up my mom and dad built a new house in the 1970's for about 39,000.   

OR are you asking,Can you live in one of the units, to avoid fraud, and rent out the bedroom(s) you are not using?

I can't tell from your initial statement if you're talking about one property or two. 2/1's can be good for travel nurses, especially for those who want their own space.
