Quote from @Pamela Rivas: Hi Natasha,Here are some key points to consider about setting up a Mexican corporation:Setup Costs: $1,500–$3,000 USDOngoing Costs: $1,000–$2,000 USD/year (accounting and tax filings)Benefits: Tax deductions for expenses like maintenance, repairs, and managementBest for: Multiple properties or income-generating investmentsWhile a corporation is ideal for managing multiple properties, it’s NOT required to obtain an RFC.

Investing in  2-4 unit properties within the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex would be ideal but I am also interested in other potential deals, that fall within the 2-4 unit range. 

Most HMLs I deal with require a minimum of $10k equity (or 10%, whichever is higher) in each property.

.🔹 Ideal in Any Market – Whether home prices are rising or falling, lease options allow you to lock in today’s price while benefiting from future appreciation.Other creative strategies—like seller financing, subject-to deals, and the BRRRR method—can also open doors, but lease options remain one of the most powerful, low-risk, minimal cash out-of-pocket ways to build a portfolio.

Live in the multi-family for a year, then move back into your own home and rent out the unit.If if not ideal, it's worth the hassle. 

Aloha Joshua,  I deal with clouded/messy titles often and it's not my first choice as its froth with a lot of time, costs and risks. 

For your mortgage, a 30-year loan will give you lower monthly payments, which could be ideal while starting out.

Ideally, I would like to buy a 2-4 unit, but I'm not closed off to a single family and renting out the rooms.Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I personally am not trying to build a portfolio of 100 doors, I am trying to build a portfolio big enough to support our ideal lifestyle. - We start with the property vs. the numbers. 

There are also smaller brokerages that may specialize in this.Actually, that would be ideal.
