Hi Ron, house hacking and BRRR are the two best strategies when you start out - and they actually combine very well.

Has anyone used a strategy of a combination of privet and conventional that has any advice on how to do this?

If you spent 80K total for a 20 acre parcel and a 6 acre parcel combined, what was your "cost basis" on "the closing date" for the 6 acre parcel that you "propose to sell" in the "short term"?

For her it was the risk of leaving a corporate job (that was resolved with my son being born and her feeling comfortable leaving, combined with selling one of our rentals to pay for a flip in cash).As mentioned, if you want her to come around you need to approach it in terms of what are important to her. 

There could be a combining of households to help recover financially from current events.

The Four Seasons reinvented itself in a matter of days to house hospital workers, total combined 2.3 million rooms!

My current situation is, my wife and I gross $9,400 a month combined.

The ultimate value of the property, is a result of the combination of what it costs the REI to enter the deal, and what the REI will exit the deal with...as far as cash is concerned (for both). 

Most of my coaching clients go this route or a combination of smaller units at first, then moving into larger units and partnerships.  

I also like the duplex because you can combine both strategies.
