FHA Loan – 3.5% Down (Owner-Occupied)Buy a duplex, triplex, or fourplex, live in one unit, and rent out the others.You only need 3.5% down with a 580+ credit score.STRs are typically not allowed initially, but you can transition over time.3.

I feel like I have a strong grasp of the general knowledge needed for a first property, but I’d love to hear something different.

My initial reaction was "hell no".Algorithms are usually poor estimators of actual value.  

They reversed the transaction initiated by the hacker and I can withdraw the money from my account.

We did this because initially we were just going to build/sell, but I would rather hold on to it.

Wanted to still be close to family but maintain a cheaper lifestyle, still have strong appreciation, and much better tenant/landlord laws, taxes, etc. 

I am in Florida and we have a strong STR market and most of my buyers bought at high rates and using AirDNA we were pretty spot on for the numbers and we were successful in being profitable.  

My goal is to retire within the next 10 years, and I’m looking to build a strong and sustainable portfolio that will enable me to enjoy my retirement years. 

I work with investors, I am extremely knowledgeable about this market and I have a strong team of vendors.

This is a good opportunity in a strong market, and with your excellent credit and HELOC funds, you’re in a great position to make this project happen.
