This also begins YOUR title seasoning, so that when you're ready to take out a traditional mortgage, you can refinance and pay off the seller without a title seasoning issue. you can buy title insurance from the title company at closing. this is a good idea. 

I'm in the knowledge gathering phase - more time I spend here in BP and other online sources, more I am realising there is a lot more to this than simply buying something off of redfin and renting out

As titled, I am looking to finally step out of my comfort zone and buy my first property.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

Most buy the entry level SFH because its what they are qualified to purchase.  

Investment Info:Townhouse buy & hold investment in Philadelphia.

We didn't do any major renovations since buying and renting it out, but Redfin tells us that we gained ~$60k of equity.

If anyone has updates/chances please let us know  

People who can afford a property like that will buy a home themselves instead of renting(majority of the time).

I’m ready to buy mi first duplex/triplex for a house hack and wanted to go the FHA loan route strictly for the low down payment of 3.5% I’ve been self employed for exactly 1 year now, but the issue I’m running into is that every lender I have talked to (over 9 lenders now) have told me I need to have at least 2 years of self employment in order to get an FHA loan or any loan that requires under 10% down (even if I made good money my first year of self employment) I have 780+ credit score, no debt, no loans, no monthly payments on anything.
