The financial net worth of residents who own a home is much higher than those who do not.

Just make sure that the local zoning laws and HOA (if applicable) allow for this arrangement.Down Payment Terms: Spreading the $20k down payment over 6 months can ease the upfront financial burden, but ensure you have a clear agreement with the seller on this timeline and any penalties for delayed payments.Best of luck moving forward,KC

Unless your triplex has bigger units with families, it would not be worth it for a financial investment.
