I am looking to start my journey anywhere from Cincinnati to Columbus, OH My plan: I plan on purchasing a 3-4 unit property and house hacking one of those units for about 12-18 months.

Purchase price: $158,000 Cash invested: $35,000 Sale price: $250,000 This was our first house Hack that we added value to.

The way I see it, a brand spanking new duplex wouldn't be the smartest deal because of the high purchase price and you'd likely not cash flow, if not be in the negative.

Then when you see a lead you like purchase the individual lead.

Hi Everyone, I am purchasing my first SFH, and I plan to live there for a year and share 2 rooms with 2 other tenants, to reduce the cost.

Some buyers (think Cary NC in the 1990s) are looking for attributes not related to economic value, like: common areas, access to public transportation, proximity to parks, etc.

Likewise, there was a 5% down option with Fannie Mae’s HomeReady product when purchasing a duplex.

This can sometimes bypass the LLC restriction, although terms may vary.Refinancing after Purchase: If you initially purchase the property under your personal name and then transfer it to an LLC, you could explore refinancing options post-transfer.

I particularly purchased SF that has 3 building and I can fit in 10-15 cars inside. 

We purchased this house at $550k.
