I have stumbled across a few very interesting situations for owner occupancy where the property is 5 units or 6.

I originally stumbled across the site looking for books (beginners guide) to investing.

Great job on stumbling into the crazy world of financing.

This could take years, but you're young yet :)Good luck - I think if you spend more time on BP and you get a good plan, you have actually "accidentally" stumbled onto your future retirement plan!

I want my first property to be my primary residence for a few years as well The problem I have come across us that in the D.C/MD/northern VA area a lot of these properties are well north of 500kThe ones that aren't are are in not so great neighborhoods (Trinidad/anacostia/Minnesota ave) etc, and at least according to the reviews from Redfin agents will require at least some rehab I'm sure there are gems in the area that I haven't stumbled upon yet but my question would be should i possibly look into another niche/strategy for this area with a lower cost of entry
