Purchase price: $171,000 Cash invested: $34,000 Bought a 2 unit as a househack, living in the upper and renting out the lower unit.

We have gotten our finances in line and currently are looking more in detail to purchase our first real estate property.

I'm looking to purchase my first SFR in NJ, and Trenton caught my eye due to the low entry point.

I think many of us use hyper-consumerism as a means of validating our self-worth.We NEED to upgrade to a new cell phone every year, we NEED to take expensive vacations to show our friends how fun our lives are, we NEED to purchase the more expensive car, we NEED to eat at chic restaurants and document the experience all over our social media.

I'm impressed lot of us do the same strategy lol, I almost purchased another 5/2 two months ago in hayward but got outbid again LOL

I've purchased a few homes to househack.

Let me know if you can, thanks State Auto was purchased by Liberty Mutual several years back. 

A few lenders may also require the property to be furnished when you purchase the property. 

I'm very close to purchasing my first Memphis property.  

I am an investor myself and purchased my rentals here, all hitting the 1% rule.
