I have some equity in my rentals but dont want to touch them with the interest rates being so high...If there was a lender who could lend without me needing to save up the 65k-that would be great!

Currently finishing up a house hack and am going to be transitioning to building my rental portfolio.

Overall, it can be a profitable business, but most people get into it to become an investor and 99 percent fail right away because they don't know the slightest thing about repair costs, talking to sellers, and are only in it for the money and not to help people.

You could still be right outside city limits.

Note local rules could be more extreme.  

It was bought at a public auction where nearly 200 properties were auctioned off one by one with an announcement that the first six will be sold absolute, meaning the successful buyer with the highest bid will be accepted.

I’ve seen firsthand how house hacking can be a powerful strategy for building cash flow and wealth, especially in multi-family properties like the 4-plex you’re targeting.

I might be a little biased since I've lived here my whole life.

(Looking to spend 130 or less)Just looking for advice, this would be my first property and I'd like to get cash flow while being in a non crime filled area, and being able to count on at least some future appreciation. 

I posed the same question to them and awaiting to hear what their marketing approach will be.
