I currently own 1 multi-unit rental property and some K1 syndicated investments, all of which are owned in my personal name.I just purchased my rental property with funds from my personal checking account, and I have paid for about half of the rehab with funds from my personal checking account. 

Purchase price: $390,000 Cash invested: $95,000 Using the house hack strategy and renting out the other half of the duplex.

On the inside I completely gutted the bathrooms, turning a half bath into a master retreat.

I added value by a complete exterior renovation, cosmetic upgrades, bringing the basement up to safety levels as well as turning a half bath into a full.

If I do invest local I can replace my capital by saving for a year and a half… does anyone have any insight? 

I have a mortgage for my primary residence in my name my fiancé and I both pay half and half.

Half of the people who own these properties never think to sell because they know they will have to fix everything on the property first to list it.

Two cash flowing townhomes and a third primary residence that’s being built (closing in a month and half).

At the price point we're targeting for the primary residence, the expected monthly PITI will be slightly more than half of the rent we're paying here in California.

You could buy a duplex and live in half and rent the other half.
