Seen that play a few times.. this whole sub to being taught to under capitalized or starter investors who don't know what they don't know and learn this on line is just so very dangerous.

You’ll be playing for appreciation and rent growth.

If we sell, we will have between $150-200k to play with.

I do think house hacking and small multifamily are the best plays at the moment. 

You don't want to start playing sides here and getting involved in these kinds of debates.

If he makes less 94K a year and married he can take advantage of zero tax rate which would come into play. 

Main thing I would think of if you are targeting families are things like pack and plays, cribs, gamerooms for kids, etc. as well.

It'll also get grueling for you as well, rejection isn't fun.

Play it smart by aligning your investments with your goals, timing, and risk appetite.

Let’s be honest, I’ve watched folks who jump into this game as if playing roulette.. firing off offers on duplexes in Phoenix or leaning on some “sure-thing” house hack in Austin without ever sketching out their plan.
