I currrntly own a home and am renting it out, I am working on purchasing a duplex.

As I build my career as an agent, I’m also passionate about real estate investing, specifically with a goal of purchasing multi-family, buy-and-hold properties where I can live in one unit and rent out the others.I’m here to network, learn from experienced investors, and contribute to the community.

Hi everyoneIdk how to feel about this.In 2021, I purchased a property that used to be a duplex.

We are considering the following options:-I purchase the property from my aunt – Perhaps we can do seller financing to reduce fees?

This, in turn, allows for higher rental rates or quicker sales, directly impacting the ROI.I could remember when an investor purchased an old, three-story commercial building at  a bustling downtown area.

Ultimately though, it will depend on the lender and the availability of funds (assistance) available for the demographic area that you are purchasing in.Do you have a property that you are looking at?

I seriously looked into purchasing a few years back in Valencia but decided ultimately the US had more potential.

@Jerry Velezif a property is owned outright with no mortgages, debts or liens on it, then it can (potentially) be purchased on seller financing. 

Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

I partnered with him and purchased my first property here in Columbus, OH.
