My preferred options are:1. house-hack with a duplex under ARV; live in one unit => renovate => rent the other unit2. buy a SFH under ARV that could be converted into a duplex (preferably adjacent units vs top/bottom) - I'm assuming the biggest challenge with this strategy would be separating the infrastructure for utilities; and costly.

Our Fourplex 100% ownership strategy has evolved over time, and based on feedback from William and others, we now charge a 20% down payment, instead of 30%.Secondly, we now pay the investor interest on the down payment, as a discount on the final price.

Early on, I was locked into a competitive mindset, but once I started collaborating—whether with wholesalers bringing me deals or flippers looking for exit strategies—it became a game-changer and ultimately made me more successful.

On Meetups, I wasn't getting enough people consistently to do it.

A common strategy I see with diversification exchanges, is that the investor will purchase the first property cash and the second with a mortgage.

That will start to help form your strategy.  

Personally, my favorite way of sourcing deals is building relationships with brokers and nurturing those relationships by checking in consistently.

They consistently place homeowners in the position of insurers, all while aggressively marketing their own "insurance" that they practically never pay a claim on.Highly unethical, and I am quite surprised that Airbnb hasn't faced a class action lawsuit from damaged homeowners.

Hi @Drew Sygit, thanks for your response.You shared some good insight, particularly about the classes of tenants that would push back against the strategy I proposed originally.

@John Lasher Have you considered the BRRRR strategy?
