Here’s the plan I’ve come up with, and I’d love to hear your thoughts on its feasibility, potential risks, and any improvements you might suggest.The Plan1.Pay Off Mortgage: I currently have $170K left on my mortgage, and my goal is to aggressively pay it off in the next 1.5 years.2.Establish Emergency Fund: Before making any big moves, I’ll set aside 6-12 months’ worth of expenses as an emergency fund.3.Extract Equity: Once the mortgage is paid off, I’ll pull out the equity from the property.4.First Flip: Using the extracted equity, I’ll purchase another house, fix it up, and sell it for a profit.5.Reinvest Flip Profits: Instead of buying another property immediately, I’ll use the profits from the flip to renovate the original property, aiming to increase its rental income and appraisal value.6.Reappraise and Extract Equity Again: After renovating, I’ll get the original property reappraised and extract additional equity based on its increased value.7.Purchase Rental Properties: With the additional equity, I’ll start purchasing rental properties that offer positive cash flow and have growth potential.8.Leverage Equity Strategically: I’ll use equity from the original property and any new properties while maintaining a healthy loan-to-value ratio (LTV), ideally around 70-75%.9.Build Rental Portfolio: I’ll focus on acquiring a mix of property types (e.g., single-family homes, multi-family units) to diversify my investments.10.Focus on Cash Flow: I’ll prioritize properties that generate consistent positive cash flow, ensuring that rental income covers all expenses, including mortgage payments, maintenance, and management fees.11.Long-Term Hold: I’ll hold properties long-term to benefit from appreciation and tax advantages.

So when you notice something like this, how kicking your kids out at 18 and telling them to start from scratch and consume and buy all the same stuff you consumed and bought is keeping your family down, and ain't workin', and immigrants with the mentality of pooling their resources together, sticking together, and making due with less seem to have the right idea...

Even then should be able to find lower rate IO.I would check with another lender on this one, check into buying down the prepay as well.

Hello  my name is dozar  from chambersburg pa , I own a duplex  and plan to buy one property each year  for 10 years through house hacking method. 

If we go by the BRRRR method, we're already going to buy and rehab it, then would it not make sense to just flip it at that point and cut out the need to deal with tenants, home damage/repairs, refinancing, etc.?

Fix it up, rent for a year or two until it pops, than sell and take profits to buy a couple of the same type deals.

Before purchasing property 1, we aligned on a buy and hold strategy but didn't discuss cash out refi options.

He helped my husband and I buy our first investment property last year.
