We were especially thrilled to start our investing journey with a duplex, and it was even better that the tenants desired to stay and had been consistent with rent for many many years.

Ok yeah we are thinking of getting an investment property loan so we can stay in our current home.If we did the FHA route we are considering on living in the new property for 1 year and then moving back into our old one after the year is up.We are curious if we would get a more favorable rate if we borrowed from our home equity to buy the investment property.Do you have any idea if many investors borrow from their home equity to get started?  

Its a month to month and im in a weak position even to ask the tenant to renew lease now and they seem they are willing to stay they just need a solution to the issue.

From here you could decide if you want to stay on the passive side of things as an LP, or if you want to begin raising capital for your own deals / funds based on your track record of investing with other experienced operators and being part of the masterminds that you're in.
