I'm feeling most drawn to a buy and hold rental investing strategy and like the idea of the BRRRR strategy in tandem with VA loans, basically refinancing VA loan backed mortgages to conventional loans once there is 20% equity in the home.

Quote from @Dominic Mazzarella: Quote from @James Wise: TikTok is supposed to be shut down in the U.S on 1.19.2025 unless the Supreme Court blocks or delays the U.S. ban per Trump's request.I won't pretend to have any idea how the inner workings of the data collection between China and the USA effect the world, but on a personally business not, I like it.

This is the graveyard of great ideas, plans, hopes and dreams that were never done.

Hey there @James Colgan - Love the idea of house hacking a duplex!

However I do have a few other ideas but I would need to know a bit more about your situation, timeframe, overall financial objectives.

We wouldn't plan to sell the property anytime soon so I would think we could avoid the capital gains with it becoming our primary residence.Can you please elaborate on the partner idea? 

It’s always a good idea to document the conversation too, even if it’s just jotting down the details for your records.If they don’t take the warning seriously, you’ve got options.

My idea is to put 20% down on a $1 million property, with the remaining $800,000 paid off over 8–10 years, depending on how much yearly income the seller would want.I’ve seen a lot of discussions about using seller financing for investment properties, but not much when it comes to primary residences.

Which of these ideas would you try first to grow your deal flow or funding network?

I gave them consistent feedback for years and still believe they could have made $10m or more off of my ideas.
