I cashed out one little condo (rental property) at a time and paid the the taxes to do so.

I'd recommend house-hacking a duplex or triplex if possible to help limit your living expenses.

There are several duplexes out there for sale and if you do it right, it can be financially beneficial for you.  

Strategies like living in a duplex or triplex, adding an ADU, or renting by the room can help maximize cash flow while leveraging FHA or VA loans for lower upfront costs.

House hacking a duplex is a solid way to get started in real estate while keeping your living costs low.

My broker could not find any other carrier to cover a rental condo. 

@jonathan leicht  Yes they have Jonathan for SFR, however Attached dwellings (duplexs/rowhouses) have been delayed. 

Thanks in advance,Rookie You’re going to struggle to find cash flow anywhere in the dmv, you would really be buying for appreciation only, both for ease and some upside, I’d look at some condos in dc, definitely some risk, but you can pick up a condo at a price you would have paid a decade ago. 

Hello,I bought a duplex in Pensacola $75,000 under appraised value, in an amazing location.

*Soon after, I will be moving to the South, where I will purchase a relatively moderate-priced home (less than $350,000), likely a single-family, possibly a duplex.~ I will most likely purchase the first home (multi-family) using a bridge-DSCR loan combo or a FHA203K (3.5-20% down).
