As I'm in the beginning process of trying to purchase my 1st small duplex investment property.

Those are for small units less than 960 sq ft.

Private lenders, often individuals or small firms, are another option.

There are a number of small fee with purchases and sales such as deed prep, recording fees, etc but they are small and pretty incidental.

When we opened our tent and event rental business (with a small out of pocket cash investment in equipment), my wife asked for a business plan. 

Reason being - conventional financing is way more favorable compare to FHA when it comes to competing offers.Fannie/Freddie is offering a 5% down conventional loan product on owner occupied small multifamily properties as of Nov 2023.

Contact Extreme Clean they do cleaning and mold remediation or diy since it's a small area.

Newer syndications what I see investors do that have tens of millions or higher is they will drop a small amount like 25k or 50k into those deals.

I’m a fairly new investor, currently with only one STR/MTR duplex in Indiana, and I’m looking to develop new skills in order to improve my personal income to help expedite a second rental investment.I am a touring musician, and also have 5+ years of bookkeeping experience for one of my small businesses, and I run the books for my one duplex as well.

@Alexander Celestina are you targeting small multi-family or SFH?
