it sounds like you are playing too soft.

My goal is to live-in one side, then after the two-three year period for FHA, move out and continue to generate cash flow.

I’ve been given advice to ‘keep buying’...My fist property will be working well with a cap of 7.7.ITs an Attractive idea, To pay it off, and Then leverage it.But I hear, I should continue Buying.Any Arguments, Either way?

I understand I will need liquid cash for repairs and such, but the bigger question is should I go where the properties are cheaper so my "risk" is less, or should I continue to wait until I have a much large amount of cash saved?

If you have to post to a forum for advice on how to raise thIs level of money means you haven’t played in this league before.

Near the schools in Tampa, they would be considered student housing, and that's a ton of wear and tear and turnover.I love, and will continue looking at small multi-families that are all 2/1.
