Looking to take our Mid-Term rentals from reactionary to proactive planning. 

The plan aims to reduce living costs, gain landlord experience, and move closer to long-term financial goals.Good luck!

Congrats on taking the first steps toward investing—your vision and planning are impressive!

I planned on living in one unit and renting the other, this worked great.

Additionally, you might want to consider an FHA loan for the duplex if you plan to live in one unit, as it requires a lower down payment and could still allow for a good return on investment.

If you fear it and fail to plan you will end up in debt and frustrated.

I would encourage you to take a trip to the market you plan to invest in and tour some houses in the neighborhoods that you are looking at.
