@Charlotte WilsonAs long as you continue to occupy the property you purchase with an FHA loan and you're not applying for owner occupant financing on the other property, that shouldn't be a problem.

Quote from @Daniel Green: Hey everyone,  I'm Dan, 35 here, I'll be able to make my first purchase in summer '26.

Purchase price: $532,500 Cash invested: $106,500 I just bought a duplex on 3rd Ave on the Columbus side of Grandview and am planning on living in one side and renting out the other.  

While not mandatory to purchase in an LLC, I would recommend it.

I am learning a lot about real estate and want to purchase a rental property in my area.

I'm thinking I can use a VA loan to purchase a multifamily in FL and house hack it.

You mean $100-120K “all in” or just purchase price?

It has a boiler system so I don’t think it’s worth it to purchase 3 more to have them separately metered.

This year I made it a goal to purchase my first property and my hope is that with the help of this community, I can make that goal a reality.

Purchase price: $150,000 Cash invested: $182,000 BRRRR SFH and fourplex, five total doors.
