There is also algorithm advantageous to bi-weekly vs monthly, so a bit of a credit-hack boost effect to it. 

@Paul Bogard going to assume you are buying this proeprty to live in while you "house hack".First, you should understand +95% of real estate agents ONLY know how to sell owner-occupied properties and are almost useless for investors:(Find an agent that has rental properties themself or can PROVE they've got successful repeat investor clients.Secondly, you can greatly improve your cashflow by renting out your other bedrooms.

.: @Brent Harasymwhy not start with a house hack instead? 

I LOVE the house hacking method and I think it is one of the best ways to get started in real estate investing.

If you can house hack, that's how I started.

I have 2 properties that were previous house hacks and have decent cash flow on their own.

I've been going to local RE meet ups and talked to other investors who have used many different strategies: out of state, syndications, NNN (triple net), commercial, AirBnbs, mid term rentals, co-ownership, house hacking, etc.

So in the case of a duplex house hack, live in one unit, airbnb out the other - the property is only 50% rental, not > 50%.

If you’ve ever wondered how to invest in real estate without breaking the bank, this could be the perfect starting point.What is House Hacking?

What if you are currently house hacking, with a homeowner's policy.
