That’s great advice Taz, I’m currently working on saving enough money to get started, house hacking is hard for me at the moment because I just bought a house 2 years ago, I would have to sell my house(which is in a great neighborhood great location) and use that money to fund the duplex which isn’t totally out of the question, I would like to keep the house if possible but also would like to get real estate investing more.

Purchase price: $160,000 Cash invested: $40,000 Sale price: $268,000 I bought my first house in Kalispell Montana as a long term investment and possibly a rental.

I bought vacant land, built a spec home and sold it to an end user.

But there are John Does who pay monthly rent in excess of what would it cost to finance a purchase of home bought for 70.000-80,000.

Quote from @Jenny Yu: Update on Suncoast PM...I bought a property in Jacksonville from them, with the 24 month PM contract. 

I bought the property in June, have had 4 renters the first month and then 3 the remaining of the year.

I am in Florida and we have a strong STR market and most of my buyers bought at high rates and using AirDNA we were pretty spot on for the numbers and we were successful in being profitable.  

I bought and am wanting to get an appraisal for a single family home being used as a rooming house.

That is how I bought my boutique hotels in Costa Rica. 

.: @Bryan Christopher just wondering, since it's been 3 months, if you bought him the fridge or sent him @Mike Dymski's ice cubes?
