25k a year is probably barely enough to live on as a single individual let alone invest or support a family.Your easiest way to invest is to earn more.To earn say 25k a year likely requires around 300k invested money assuming you’re not doing major rehabs and/or experiencing a lot of appreciation.

If the response is in single digits, I'd work on it if I were you by building up your portfolio.Feel free to PM me if you're looking for more ideas.Best!

Except I bought a single family and rented out the two spare bedrooms with Airbnb to travel nurses.

My interests are in single family homes and multiple family homes that I hold for several years to get a solid ROI before really expanding my portfolio.I welcome your tips and tricks and look forward to learning more from each of you as I submerge myself in this bank of knowledge.

I would think duplex property might result in lower rent than a detached single family property.

Living in a single family home now.

Every single lender out there wants to fund a project but they don't want to give you money up front.

One other adjustment I would like to make that is currently on the lease is the lease says "owner pays water for both units" with me being a single and them being a family I feel it's fair for them to pay for their own water bill because they're naturally going to use a lot more water than me.

I'll agree with @Ashish Acharya here: if you're wanting to sell the property primarily as a way to get some tax-free cash, then yes, sell within three years after moving and you qualify for the $250k(single)/$500k(married) Sec 121 exemption.
