This marks a departure from the previous multiunit financing requirement of 15-25% down payments for duplexes, triplexes, and four-plexes.This new option presents a great opportunity for individuals looking to invest in multifamily homes while also enjoying the benefits of homeownership.

I know a lot of people on BiggerPockets talk about real estate investing as a means to an end, but I'm think I might also just really enjoy the strategy, execution, and hands-on work involved.

At the same time, it is ok to enjoy the fruits of your labor and relax too!

I am happy that I did the "extras" because I get to enjoy them now but the ROI is not there.

Hi Joyce,Welcome to BP and should you ever have any questions in my field or in general reach out I enjoy helping and talking REI!

What impediments exist that keep women from enjoying real estate and financial freedom?

I moved to Columbus from Connecticut in 2012 for school and have really enjoyed living in the city.

I'm definitely still in the exploration phase to see if I will end up going this route, but as I've furnished multiple units, I've realized I don't really enjoy that part of the process nor is design a strength of mine, so if I can hire it out to someone who will do a better job than me for a reasonable price, I will.

The problem I see my clients get into with vacation rental purchases when the intent is to get something they can enjoy as well is that many times they get tired of going to that one spot. 

I actually enjoy construction but I'm ready to be my own boss.
