It's a cool way to learn, build equity, and score tax benefits.

Discussion has been around 4 month during initial lease up.I am not planning on going in all cash, but likely a 50/50 debt to equity.

More bang for your buck at launch, no equity but it gets you started. you can roll the profits into a purchase at a later date. good luck

so if you would pay $1600 in rent, but you could buy a duplex, and your mortgage is $2000, but you collect $800 in rent.definitely house hack - you're building equity AND saving money in this scenario.  

I’m aiming for a mix of appreciation & positive cash-flow after some value add work is done to the property over the course of first year of ownership.

When you get your fourth SFR, trade up to a bigger deal with the equity accrued. 

I want to start investing with experts and have a wholesaling education but because I have suffered for God it is an emergency to get blessings and positive energy.

Hope everyone is having a positive Wednesday and looking forward to discussing some ideas,A

As long as you have good credit and the DTI is low, you should be able to get a conventional with as little as 5% down.Alternatively, you could add value to this house, increase equity, then pursue a cash out refinance and roll the cash into the next primary property.

But, Warren Buffett recently sold his entire position in the homebuilder after owning the stock for just a few months (very not like him/Berkshire).
