That can work in your favor and work against you.

That is one of the main reasons to take that path so that you can vastly increase your equity immediately.Your "cons" of 1 BRRR is throwing me off.

I think your application would not look favorable to most landlords that have decent places - ideally, we want tenants to stay a decent length of time.

Obviously do your due diligence to make sure you’re not buying a bad deal but any route you go there will be things you did right and a bunch you do wrong but you will learn and you will do better on the next deal and the next....... one Great way to consider is a House Hack..... you need/ want a primary residence anyways so consider duplex, Tri, or Quad.... you have the down payment funds and it could or should cash flow too..... get you a place to live, experience as a land lord, cashflow, and the possibility to buy right and refi later to pull out equity......  

Or you can sell it on the open market if you take over a house with plenty of equity.

Hi Bryan,I suggest looking into the equity in your current residence to see if you may have some equity on the table.

Sweat equity can go a long way when funds are short.

would like to live in a higher cost home that needs work so you can value add and create equity, like a live in flip.
