I am in contract for a duplex in Grandview where I plan to live in one side and rent out the other

Sounds like you and your future husband have a solid success plan in place. 

Hey @Brad TooleyIt’s great to hear that you’re planning ahead and doing your research before jumping into your first deal—that’s a smart approach!

I am planning to get more properties overtime.

Hey India if you use HML do you plan on refinancing?

I am planning on leaving the brokerage to go somewhere that is more investor friendly, and somewhere with a broker who knows what wholesaling is.

I plan to refinance in two to three year once rates come down a bit.That said, I need to be very confident in my numbers on the hotel, since I'm putting risk on my other properties and essentially wiping out their cash flow.Happy to connect.

Hi Angela,Your tech background can help you evaluate the deals but I fear that you don't have a comprehensive plan of what you want to do with investment real estate.  

I have high equity in my current duplex so planning on using that to fund down payment for the next property.  

Maybe not the easiest deal but with the best upside.Philly needs jobs, attracting tech jobs should be a plan.
