So the first seller agrees to direct title to holds the funds and when you close on that purchase you record a new note for the first seller on the second home.

First off congrats for looking into this realy estate stuff at such an early age! 

If one of the greatest investors of all time believes stocks are overvalued, this may be an opportune time to shed some risk and move into a more tangible asset like real estate.The Rochester housing market is a great place to consider for investment.

And, factor in the depreciation and other tax benefits, deductions, home office, vehicle expenses, etc. 

I don't have a lot of time or bandwidth to invest in a fixer-upper and I would like something with limited work.  

i fyour getting paid off when the vertical loan goes on.. then your in first position . so not sure what the issue is? 

Quote from @Allison Cutlip: Hi all, My boyfriend and I are buying our first home that is a duplex, planning to live in one unit and rent the other side.

While I may not have direct investing experience yet, real estate is in my blood, and I’ve spent years running numbers, learning the process, and preparing to make my first deal.Right now, I’m looking for: ✔ Smaller properties (4–8 units) that I can finance on my own✔ Larger properties (10–20+ units) that I am aware will require a more structured operational approach and strategic partnerships ✔ Opportunities near the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) in Edinburg that align with my financial goals and my mission to support veteransBeyond investing, my long-term goal is to develop a transition housing program for student veterans—a place where veterans can live in a strong community while navigating college, career development, and civilian life.

@Argel Algura.Congrats first on your last.year and how much you have accomplished in a short time period. 

Most investors are excited AND simultaneously nervous on their first few deals!
