Quote from @Lindsey Buxton: Want to level up your passive investing game?

I'm in Boise as well and pretty new to the game. 

I was in both architecture and real estate development for 18 years, so I'll be bringing that experience to the table.Looking to get back into the game with some big plans.

The idea of living in one unit and having rental income cover a significant portion of my mortgage was a game-changer.

My wife and I haven't leveraged the 10% second home loan yet, for us currently that is the most realistic path forward for current costs of properties but I'm unsure where and how we can pull that off, been out of the market for a little while so wanted to see what others are doing to make it work in this state as I want to get back into the game this year.Thanks

This gets you in the game with minimal upfront costs.Covering the Smaller Costs (Inspections, Appraisals, Earnest Money, etc.)Even when using other people’s money, you’ll need some cash for earnest money deposits, inspections, and carrying costs.
