My primary focus is to great passive income and too secure Financial freedom so I can enjoy the time I’m given with family and friends.My main focus is buy and hold rentals (single family, and multi units) but wouldn’t be opposed to a fix and flip or wholesale, I personally think having some of both helps with an exit strategy depending on the market.

From a financial perspective, I think the main key is to make sure you are very comfortable with the guarantee of payment you will get.

No applicant with a score below 600 is financially responsible. 

Thinking bigger and like an financially educated investor.

If you LO a run-down house, the person who gets the LO will need to sink a lot of $$$ into the property, which typically means they are financially committed to the property. 

Does it make financial sense to buy a duplex or 4plex in an affordable market as an investment property when I am currently renting myself?

Plus it mitigates the risk of only you having the financial burden of financing by yourself and develop relationships Let me know if you have any questions.

Absentee Owners tend to be over-use in competitive markets, so I wouldn't recommend that.Seniors with 20+Year Ownership and Homeowners with Low Financial Stability Scores are 2 that aren't getting over-mailed-to yet.1.

You may be better off finding a partner to go in on this one (split building, negotiate roles & responsibilities due to financial qualification assistance needed to obtain property).  

I already offered him about 20K discount on the listing price as I want to sell the house fast due to my financial circumstances.
