For me personally, finances aside, I would have a different opinion of purchasing my grandparent's lifetime home than I would one of the shacks we lived in for a year or two when I was a kid. 

I know that not everybody loves it, but I think it's really approachable and the kids enjoyed it. 

Just want to make sure I am exploring all possible options. 

Hi there,I am exploring the possibility that is it possible to buy an investment property with 20% down and then after sometime buy a house for own-self to stay in with 5% down. 

My goals are clear for me, which are to invest in real estate for passive income, so that my family and I will have a better future financially, while also building my legacy for my kid and possible grandkids.

Once you have purchased 2 primary residences using this strategy, then explore purchasing property with 20-25% down investment financing.  

Contact your local 4-H (county) or FFA (Highschool)and offer land/corral for kids in town to raise animals for the fair that don't have the facility in town. 

.- Don't be afraid to explore outside your own backyard.In my case, my 'backyard' is AZ.

I have no idea what the answer is as I've never explored the issue. 

Currently exploring options to refinance and draw equity out of our property in Halifax, NS to finance additional multi-family property purchases.
