on real estate investing to educate myself before purchasing my first property.I've been scanning the MLS and been in contact with my agent for the past two months looking for a small multifamily or single family home to house hack.Based on my local market, it's looking like a single family home will be the most realistic first purchase.My strategy is to put down about 10% (or lower) using a conventional or FHA loan, make value-add minor rehabs to the property where needed while living in the property (live-in-flip), and then move into a different property and place a tenant in the first (and repeat over several years to acquire multiple properties).I know there are creative methods to finance real estate deals rather than using your own cash.

What finance vehicles or methods are you using?

At that point they also have the right to move out of that unit and turn it into 3 unit rental because again now that it’s not an FHA loan they are "NOT" obligated to live there after the FHA to conventional conversion refinance.This is one of the better ways to approach the BRRR method but you still must qualify.

at least two different times, before other methods like posting on the door combined with certified mail may be considered.
