He purchases a duplex primary home this year and in 1-1.5 years he purchases a nicer larger 2-4 unit, maybe in a more desirable area – that would make sense and generally get approved with primary home financing assuming of course he was going to occupy a unit.The whole strategy he plans to employ requires a “move-up” each new purchase and he already has a SFH which causes a big hurdle in the “move-up” strategy so once again selling that would behoove him.The plan he didn’t mention which is really the only plan that will work in the short term is:Sell current primary homePurchase owner occupied 2-4 unit with 5% downPurchase additional; 2-4 units with 25% down with the remaining proceeds from sale of primaryI am happy to make an introduction to Richard if you would like to discuss further.

Before we bought our new house which wasn't quite planned, we refinanced our townhouse to a 15 year mortgage to speed up paying it off.

I do plan to manage it myself, at least to start.

@Connor Castillo, I don't think your question quite makes sense and also I'm not sure what your reasoning is for this plan. 1.

You better have a strong plan 🫡
