House hacking by purchasing a duplex, triplex, or single-family home with extra rooms can help you reduce or eliminate housing costs while building equity.

Hello, I am new to the BiggerPockets forum and looking to purchase my first investment property this year.

Im looking at purchasing a duplex in middletown, Ohio.

Purchase price: $100,000 Cash invested: $35,000 Sale price: $270,000 Hey BiggerPockets Community,I recently updated a multi-family property on a tight budget and significantly increased its value.

What type of property do you plan to purchase(Single, multi, commercial, etc) and where do you plan to buy it?

Purchase price: $530,000 Cash invested: $100,000 My journey into short-term rentals began after years of investing in long-term properties, but it was a podcast that opened my eyes to the incredible potential returns of STRs.

Cleveland and Dayton can be great markets for high cash flow and low purchase prices, but you need to be careful when navigating the neighborhoods so you're not buying in a D/F class area where no property managers will manage and where you'll never see any positive cash flow.

My plan is to sell my primary home in New York and purchase a house to live in South Carolina.

I work with several real estate developers across the country and they all do it differently.My suggestion is to find a property type and an area/neighborhood/city/market that you are drawn to and plot your course from there.As for the amount of money you'll need, it's gonna be mostly driven off the purchase price of the property.
