@Chris Ke With $200K for a down payment and the ability to invest full-time, consider starting with a 4-plex or multiple single-family homes (SFHs) within a 5-hour drive of Los Angeles in areas like San Bernardino or Riverside.

A FHA 203k Loan is where the purchase price and rehab costs are rolled into a single loan.Assuming you have a respectable FICO you can buy, with a FHA Loan (3-5% down, a 30 year amortization schedule, and a residential loan rate which is around 7% in today’s market).If the property requires rehab, the Realtor and/ or Mortgage Broker will suggest applying, for a FHA 203k Loan.

I am in the charlotte area looking to get started here and also have started working with 2 investors looking to fix and flip single families here as well but only wanting off market deals Hey @Anthony Benoit!

Quote from @KT Fissore: we vacancy in one of our single family long term house in leander. 

Upon closing my single family construction my home had about 25% in equity on day one(in 2018 in Tennessee). 

Another single family house had two front doors and they assumed it was 2 units, it was not. 

Flipping works well if you’ve got solid contractor connections, while rentals (like single-family homes) can be great with a BRRRR approach.

I want to start house hacking maybe with a single family home or duplex.

@Cheng ChuMcKinney is a fantastic market with strong population growth, and it’s a great choice for single-family home (SFH) investments.

I am primarily interested in single family homes (to start out at least).
