I will be buying my first duplex in the next few months and doing the house hacking technique .

This is true some times, but in some scenarios, brand new properties end up producing significantly MORE maintenance/repair headaches than older properties.The reasons are:1) Some building techniques/materials are far superior to those used in the past, but some are not, and some are unproven.

Hi BP community, I'm about to make my first offer ever and looking for some advice on negotiating techniques.

One of the strategies I plan on employing is the gorilla marketing technique of cold calling classified seller ads.I am new at this, I'm not afraid of making mistakes I am aware you can learn a great deal from them.

Any techniques you can share?

It is seldom done well and is an advanced technique that people think is easy because it often requires less money.You should try to find a PM, real estate, or construction company to work for so you can learn and meet people.After you save some money you can make a plan and take action.You dont need any LLC because you are not doing anything at this time.

No silly negotiating techniques; no imaginary partners; no high pressure tactics; no tricks or gimmicks - just a little honesty and integrity.Good Luck,Mike

Most Fly-by-night gurus are not worth their cost or they teach too many advanced techniques which may not actually work in your location.

I know that the BRRRR technique works well with that type of loan, but hey, BiggerPockets is a great resource

If your doing multi-family rentals the technique is to wait the seasoning period, refinance with a cash out option and go purchase another property.
