So I require skin in the game (average is 5% to 15%) to offset this.

I am new to the real estate game.

🙏☺️ I completely understand where you’re coming from & you’re right that owning real estate is a key step toward truly being an investor.I’m still new to the game, but I have a solid plan in place to move toward ownership & establish myself as a real estate investor.

I try to find their true reason for selling early on.

And, I don't know if it's true that "most" investors jump to multifamily.  

There are other players in the game to compare with like Kenny Bedwell at STR Insights or Bill Faeth's coaching.

Short and sweet here: There are no true DSCR HELOCs.

@Jared W SmithThe words trust but verify ring very true with those stories.

That claim can not be even remotely true.  

The rental demand in the area has been consistent, and duplexes offer the flexibility of house hacking or scaling into multi-family investing over time.With your experience in construction and remodeling, you’re already ahead of the game—fix-and-flips or BRRRR projects in Kansas City could be a perfect fit for you.
