Make sure to reach out to one that is an investor savvy as location is no longer an issue. 

Now you have a sample of actual timelines for your location.

High-priced metro areas are not really suitable for a repeat house hack investing strategy.Additionally, there are usually levels of location and quality within the same geographic area that can also make a big difference in the numbers.

There is also the thing of a physician loan where I wouldn't have to put a down payment on the house and secure a loan although I would want to try to aim for a fixed rate (or maybe variable since interest rates are potentially going to be cut in the future?) 

Safeguard reached out to me when I was in my mid 60s, and offered lending notes secured by real estate. 

I can get it for about 145K but it needs a few things as its a 50 year old home in a great location. 

Or are you suggesting another step after I secure the place?

Purchase price: $200,000 Cash invested: $50,000 Beautiful duplex, centrally located in a super cute neighborhood.

One outside the city is great, but the one located in the city is so terrible many landlords won't accept tenants with vouchers from it.In Detroit, it's a mix.

Even with this lack of consideration on the sellers part, I feel the property is in a prime location with upside potential, however, with this behavior, it will take longer for us to turn the property.
