Our savings rate is high but we haven't bought a permanent residence yet.. 1. because our rent is so cheap 2. because we are weighing the options of purchasing a multi-family apartment or something similar 3. because we are a little bit scared of the process.Should we start by purchasing ourselves a home, live in it, fix it up and put it on the rental market or go ahead and start looking for a multi-family unit to purchase with the possibility of living in one of the units & using an FHA 203k loan?
