Cody,It is not easy with low down payment and  with current prices, property taxes and rates to live for "free" these days in most of the country.

Is buying a new owner occupied 2-4 unit multifamily property every year using 3-5% down payments a good strategy to scale?

Welcome to BiggerPockets Seif and good luck investing!

here is the situation. i left a really good paying job to take care of my 81 year old parents because my dad is chronically ill and my mom is almost there. i wont go into too much detail, but my sis doesnt help them. ill leave it at that. we have a person who comes twice a week to help with cleaning and other household tasks. i carry the bulk of the weight cooking their meals, running errands, grocery shopping, picking up meds, and taking them to dr appointments. its a full time job. i get a small salary of $1000 a month from a care giver sub contractor for the VA. ive been paying my bills with what savings ive had, but only have a few months of funds left. i own a duplex. i have over 200k in equity. i live in texas and texas has weird laws about refi and heloc/heloans when the property is 4 units or less and owner occupied. i would rather not sell, but if thats my only option i will have to at some point.does anyone have any advice or possibly be able to point me to lenders who might be able to work with my situation?

I'm renting a 3 bdrm-1 and 1/2 bath rowhome to a tenant family of four adults who are habitually late with their rent payment each month.
