My wife and I are tossing around the idea of selling our current home and buying a duplex, moving into the vacant side so we can purchase with less money down and begin our investment journey.here are the details:Sale Price: $250,000both sides are 3 bed 2 bath with one car garagethe listing says the occupied side rents for $1,100location i would classify as high C low B, mainly because everything around is rentals.2853 Hemlock Ct Cape Girardeau MOThoughts, Advice would be greatly appreciated!

I'm looking at a portfolio that has a high percentage of the POH's on seller financing terms for 7 to 9 years.

My name is Noah Ogle, I’m 17, and a Junior at Parrish Community High School.

If the property is in a high-demand metropolitan city, you could maybe get it sold at 80% ARV - repairs, but I wouldn't aim for the best-case scenario.Good luck! 

If I want to dabble I will go into an office REIT: high liquidity, low entry cost.But let's look at multifamily, for instance.  

I'm in Miami FL right now for 45 days for business development and they allow for densities as high as 1000 units per acre. in Columbus it might be 50 units per acre. density always wins and drives down land cost. keep land under 10% of asset value upon completion. those are my best tips to get started 

If you have an interest I would highly recommend looking for brokerages specifically in the investment space.

Love it, except those things can be clunky and high maintenance to keep operational. 

You can be mortgaged to 85% with Freddie Mac if its a single family house with the cash out refi although if you go that high there will be private mortgage insurance to pay for , either monthly or in a lump sum payment at closing. 

Zillow estimates $833k price but that’s a bit high.
