For the BRRRR process I plan on using a hard money lender for the rehab process for the SFH's but what I'm not sure of is, should I purchase a duplex and rent one unit out and live in the other or should I just rent for now, not purchase a duplex and just purchase a SFH with cash and start BRRRR'n immediately?

I’m a 41-year-old father of six who loves the Lord and is driven by a desire to build a better future for my family through real estate.I own a small tile installation business, am a certified insurance agent, and am currently in the process of obtaining my real estate license.

In the thread of a conversation, statements may be made that are fine within the context of the conversation, but may not reflect well or accurately when the snippet arises within a search engine or other index tool.There may also be information that I/we are happy to share with the BP community, but not necessarily with the Internet-at-large, especially any details about our specific properties or business practices and processes.

Mark, I am in the process of completing a HELOC with Wells Fargo.

Sounds like you have a pretty poor security system.Even with a good security system, having a tenant provide ID is the first step in a professional screening process. 

My current goal is to analyze properties for potential deals on BP pro daily and start wrapping my head a general understanding of the process.
