They want 15 yr payments so I can't afford to keep paying both house payments.

Hey all,I'm looking to buy my first multifamily property and I came across a deal that I love the location of, rents are way under market, and I can afford. 

Start with what you can afford and then setup automatic investing (weekly or monthly).

Also, PA is a short drive away and much more affordable so consider that as well.

This is an owner occupant property, and we would live in it and fix it, but it is a total renovation which we could only afford to make a few very needed repairs.

Thanks @Chris T. 

@Manny CirinoMy favorite is blue ocean opportunities in commercial real estate - incredibly motivating and detailed plus a real story of one of the best real estate gurus whom I met after that and applied his strategy to make money successfullyBtw he practically gives the book away for $2 to help others - well Cherif Medawar, the author is worth millions so he can afford it but the key thing is the content is amazing https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Ocean-Opportunities-Commercial-Estate-ebook/dp/B00EKNF71U

I've been investing out of state but want to jump into the Sacramento and Stockton markets as they are more affordable than SF Bay Area. 

I could finally afford to leave manufacturing and go all in with real estate.
