Congrats - love the design

Start with your primary, rent out any spare bedrooms "house hack"Use that to practice upgrades, kitchen, bathroom, curb appeal... etcNow you have experience as a landlord and flipper, use that to buy a distressed propertyAdd 40% equity to the property through home makeover, refinance into a low cost mortgageNow you are cashflowing a healthy margin on a second property, use that to build equity over time, cashout later and buy your duplex/quad.If it's going to take you 10 years to save up a down payment for a small apartment building, yeah it makes more sense to start growing your portfolio with cheap SFR flips instead.Every market is different, every borrower is different, every property is different, it would be ill-advised to recommend anything without recognizing the individual's nuanced goals and objectives with their next acquisition.

I have a general contractors and interior design license.

The upstairs is approved for short-term and long-term rentals and has a kitchen, bathroom, and a Victorian room that could be a bedroom.Notes:-There are three vaults, one on each floor.

The time between when the corrections are presented and the turn time for the designer is really a drag (keep on them).5.

I see investors selling for $100k-$125k above purchase with full kitchen, baths, flooring, paint, etc rehabs.

They have some things designed for higher end investors.

We went all in on renovations—tore down a chimney to open up the space, put on a new roof, installed HVAC, updated floors, and completely redid the kitchen.

It was great to put pen to paper on the designs Ive pinned for so long and to see it come together in the end.
