Purchased my first duplex style property in Greeley, CO in June 2025 using FHA methods with down payment assistance.

While also utilizing our internal software to help evaluate property value, rents, rent style (STR, MTR, LTR) check the cash flow ratios, plus the ARV potential including the cost of Reno/Repair.The pregame is what most lenders or brokers do not offer because it requires more time offered to the client beyond the 9am to 5pm employee.

I am looking for asset protection/estate planning/rental real estate owning as my foundation for wanting to learn and perhaps use this style of trust.

You’ll also want to look closely at the lease structure—sometimes these are commercial-style leases instead of residential ones—and make sure whoever’s operating the home has the proper licensing and insurance.

Next step: decide flip vs hold by running a DSCR-style calc with 5–10% expense reserves; if it’s ≤ zero, take the flip profit and hunt a stronger BRRRR.

My recommendation: focus on house hacking plus a simple BRRR-style value add on renewal or turnover, keep expenses tight, and start raising private money by sharing your story and numbers.

These are typically structured as short-term bridge or fix-and-flip loans, each tied to the specific property’s purchase and rehab budget.As investors build experience and a track record, some lenders offer revolving credit lines or portfolio-style funding, where you can draw against a set limit to acquire and rehab multiple properties at once.

My personal preference is old style coil tops, because the renters tend to ruin smooth tops with their cheap pots, but I'd do a cheap smooth top before gas.
