As you gather all this information, I would continue bettering the process and continuing to buy deals.

To save those costs, you might want to stick to some year build and older, for example, if you cannot do inspections on the properties that you are buying due to off-market deals or something else that is hindering you (all sellers I buy from do not want anyone in the home till we close).

I am looking into buying a duplex in Hyatt Park and wanted to get some advice on what contractors/suppliers I could contact that have investor friendly pricing for kitchen cabinets, countertops, and bathroom vanities.

You mentioned buying a fixer upper with your HELOC and now are talking about a 20% down payment.

“Everybody” wants to buy a property they can increase rents and values.

Then I'd start by saving up, so you can buy your own house and rent out rooms in the house (or buy a place with a suite).Talk to your parents about what their goals are with the properties, what they like and what they don't like.

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

For quick math you'll need something to the magnitude of 200 units, call it 16 millions worth of multi-family.If you are looking for cash flow, maybe consider buying a business instead of real estate.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

What are your long term goals (eg do you want to buy another house) and do you have a large savings set aside for unexpected expenses?
