If I had to do it all over again, I'd buy a primary residence with 3-5% down, maybe house hack, then buy a new primary every time I've saved up enough for a new down payment leaving the former primary as a rental.There's no telling when interest rates will come down.

I am a total Newb to this board guys so feel free to yell at me if I can do things different for the benefit of the community :)I want to use this as a space to chronical my journey and stay connected with folks in the industry so yeah.

Usually these investors are looking to do live in flip as their primary residence.

I am choosing to turn my current primary into a rental in TX, and possibly moving to AL.
