But unless you get a value-add property, purchasing real estate really doesn't make much sense in this environment?

Purchase price: $240,000 Cash invested: $60,000 purchased this distressed duplex using owner financing for $240K and a $60K hard money loan for renovations.

However, due to keep purchasing real estate, my DTI is high and close to 50%.

They will lend you their IRA money.My friends and family lend me 100% of the purchase price AND rehab money.

Purchase price: $62,000 Cash invested: $60,000 Project in progress: Off market dealPurchase: $62,000Rehab: $60,000ARV: $165,000 What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

House hack another property with a low down payment loan and use the remainder or the proceeds to either renovate or purchase another investment property?  

Is this LTV based on ARV or the purchase price? 

We purchased the house about 3 months ago and are owner financing it.

Purchase price: $80,000 Cash invested: $145,000 Turning a 3/2 into a 4/2 duplex for short term rentals.

Typically starting with a smaller rehab budget of $50K or less (maybe a max of $75K) and avoiding a 1 to 1(or higher) ratio of purchase to rehab costs is recommend when you are first starting out.
