When you are within two years of purchasing make sure to have good tax returns to submit as lenders will want tax returns for last two years.Use the money you have saved and your tax returns to buy a duplex/triplex with an FHA loan and house hack.That would be my game plan in a nutshell.

Many newly build, luxury high rise condos were not qualified for any financing because the building didn’t have the required number of units owner occupied as required by Fannie, Freddie, and individual lenders.  

Purchase price: $230,000 Cash invested: $46,000 About to close on my first Duplex and very excited.

I bought a duplex in RWC in 2013 when things were a lot cheaper, and then refinanced when rates were crazy low, so that worked out well but it's a different world now sadly -- otherwise I'd love to rinse and repeat!

Hi Chris, I'm a Torontonian who got started recently with a duplex in Buffalo.

When I bought my owner occupied duplex my agent left a gift basket on the counter as a surprise. $50 Home Depot gift card and a bottle of champagne.

Found a deal on a Duplex that owner is offering owner financing.As a possible buyer of a duplex that is being offered with Owner financing.

I just got a duplex with tenants in it, one was M2M paying way lower than market rent but she was a 2 year tenant with a good record, I just renewed her lease increasing little to a number that works but still below market rent, the positve note is that she is paying on time and I didn't have to spend money in the property, the other tenant renewed a lease with us and paying close to MR, at the end of the day you need to do your due diligence and make sure the numbers work.Same question for people who have bought properties without tenants already there?
