Rent the three extra bedrooms and get $2400/mo.

And I'm just wondering if anybody else is seeing the same thing. 

Does anyone have any tips or advice for getting started in my current circumstances?

I’m curious to know how you funded your flip deals, especially the first flip (or first few) as you’re getting started??

Is it possible to get these lists from title companies, or do they not do that type of thing?

If you can only get into one, a fund isn't a bad way to go because you get into multiple properties at once. 

But we do have that option in year 3 and after.Other than that we have no debt.So, any upgrades to our duplexes will be from our cash.This is our plans for year one and two.Year one I get a duplex, then again year two.

I'm looking to get pre-approved sometime next week or potentially by the end of the week.

this is just the cost of getting in.   

A very important note to your getting started phase - No real investors want to "to grab a coffee or hop on a call" without getting to know a little about you and knowing if you have something to offer them.
