@Tomoko HaleWith STRs its not just purchasing the property. 

We are committed to building long-term relationships with our clients. 

@Charlotte WilsonAs long as you continue to occupy the property you purchase with an FHA loan and you're not applying for owner occupant financing on the other property, that shouldn't be a problem.

@Marc DeLeonibus Hey Marc, I did not end up purchasing the property.

Purchase price: $532,500 Cash invested: $106,500 I just bought a duplex on 3rd Ave on the Columbus side of Grandview and am planning on living in one side and renting out the other.  

Quote from @Daniel Green: Hey everyone,  I'm Dan, 35 here, I'll be able to make my first purchase in summer '26.

This year I made it a goal to purchase my first property and my hope is that with the help of this community, I can make that goal a reality.

There’s not really a lot of value add opportunity or sales comps in this space for our area.I typically (BRRRR) purchase fixer uppers with cash, fix up, rent, then refinance on a DSCR and get all of my money back.

I am not sure if I would make the same decision today.However, if you think you can purchase real estate and have a SIGNIFICANT delta as an investment, I would not cash out the 401k now to buy real estate. 

Connect with a realtor, say you want to purchase an investment property.
