This is a very rough comparison, for Maui island only, but in 2012 median condo price was $356,158.

Quote from @Nick Am: I own a rental property through a single member LLC (say LLC-A) and I am in process of purchasing another property under the same LLC-A.

That’s correct, a foreigner can buy property through a Mexican corporation, which is a great option for those investing in multiple properties or running a rental business.Key Points I'd like to add to your post:Setup Costs: $1,500–$3,000 USD.Ongoing Costs: $1,000–$2,000 USD/year for accounting and tax filings.Benefits: Allows tax deductions for expenses like maintenance, repairs, and management.Best for: Multiple properties or income-generating investments.For a single property for personal use, a fideicomiso is often simpler and more cost-effective due to its lower maintenance requirements and feesUltimately, choosing between a corporation and a fideicomiso comes down to your investment strategy.

To get started, consider focusing on house hacking in California with properties like duplexes or single-family homes with ADUs, or explore out-of-state rentals in landlord-friendly markets like Ohio or Georgia.

And are you thinking single-family, multi-family, or something else?

Hard to give good advice without more info, but since You are single no kids it's hard to beat buying a single family fixer upper and living in it for two years and then selling for tax free profits....I'm a big fan of Waltham these days $.02 

I currently own a 1 bed 1 bath single-family house as my primary residence.

., "I will buy at least one single-family home, duplex, triplex, or fourplex before the end of 2019") and then do it.

The lenders were very good and communicating at first, but as we got close to closing, we could not reach a single person in the company during business hours.

My goal is to start with a house hack on either a single-family property with an ADU, a duplex, or a quad.
