If you can buy all your kitchen appliances at once and ask for an extra discount or at least free delivery & installation, that's great too.

Start with your primary, rent out any spare bedrooms "house hack"Use that to practice upgrades, kitchen, bathroom, curb appeal... etcNow you have experience as a landlord and flipper, use that to buy a distressed propertyAdd 40% equity to the property through home makeover, refinance into a low cost mortgageNow you are cashflowing a healthy margin on a second property, use that to build equity over time, cashout later and buy your duplex/quad.If it's going to take you 10 years to save up a down payment for a small apartment building, yeah it makes more sense to start growing your portfolio with cheap SFR flips instead.Every market is different, every borrower is different, every property is different, it would be ill-advised to recommend anything without recognizing the individual's nuanced goals and objectives with their next acquisition.

Look for properties with outdated kitchens or bathrooms, as these updates often yield high returns.

I’ve found that putting in a bit of effort upfront, like when I upgraded my kitchen with discounted German appliances delivered straight to the US, makes things run smoother in the long run.

The upstairs is approved for short-term and long-term rentals and has a kitchen, bathroom, and a Victorian room that could be a bedroom.Notes:-There are three vaults, one on each floor.

We added some instant value to this one, changing fixtures, adding accent walls, and altering kitchen cabinets.

We went all in on renovations—tore down a chimney to open up the space, put on a new roof, installed HVAC, updated floors, and completely redid the kitchen.

To better equip myself, I also plan to start by getting a real estate license here in Illinois.
