Most of my properties are near me in a tenant friendly location where buying investment properties have become insanely expensive. 

So the option to buy here in this small town is out.

I’m a Buy And Hold type of guy but the sale is calling me after running the numbers.

Hello, I am looking for advice on how I can leverage my first investment property (house hack), to help purchase a second property. I have reserves saved up for my first property. I am hoping to see how I can purchase...

Yes I have a few rentals right now and I have 6+ months of reserves for my current rentals but I do not have enough to buy more than 1 or 2 of his SFH 

I figured it was the well and did not bother to check if it worked, i buy houses as is and dont mind replacing the pumps or piping if needed.  

I am considering buying a starter home for my family (around $300k), living in it for a year, and then renting it out while buying a larger home for our family, like a 5-bedroom in the high $400k to low $500k range.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

Sell it and take your half and buy a different rental?

Being in a price point that typically caters to moderate earners, so affordable to their incomes, but also having a tenant base that is more likely a renter by necessity than choice (or the non-PC way of saying it: a tenant that can afford your rent without struggling, but can't afford to save up to buy a house).3.
