I have had this goal of buying my first duplex and have talked to real estate investors, realtors, lenders, appraisers and have been encouraged so much to where I am anxious to dive into this.Now that I am 18 I have absolutely no debt, a credit score of 727, I have 28k sitting in a certificate of deposit, a couple years of working consistently under my belt, I’ve also been investing in my Roth IRA, I feel very blessed to be in this situation.I am still in high school, I know it wouldn’t be smart to buy a house right now but something in me is so anxious to buy this house I know I have to have patience but I don’t know if I should start the process of getting pre approved, finding a good investor friendly realtor, lender, preparing my documents or if I should just wait.When analyzing deals in my market I have crystal clear real estate deal criteria my strategy is house hacking a duplex, price range of 500,000-600,00 in Salt lake, Utah! 

Managing two properties was a bit more work, but the diversified income and growth made it worthwhile for her.Consider what's manageable for you in terms of property management and what your investment goals are..steady cash flow, long-term appreciation, or a mix of both.Feel free to dive deeper into any of this.

:) Whew, now I just need the confidence and bravery to dive in. 

The LP investors thought process is they make millions per year at job or business and do not have time for deep dive into every nook and cranny with a syndicator offering.

Diving your businesses down daily like the titanic. 

Perhaps I could be mistaken, but I believe diving into a relationship without fully comprehending it myself could result in unnecessary expenses if the relationship turns out to be wrong.

It really depends on the scenario.If someone is in deep waters, BK, foreclosure, terrible credit, etc.You don't want to be above 60% LTV as that borrower has an incredible risk of default.

It’s not without its challenges, but if you’re ready to do the work, there are some solid opportunities there.Happy to send over some resources if you want to dive deeper into the market.Best,Travis

As you build your portfolio, consider exploring markets like Austin or Phoenix..they're vibrant and full of potential.If you're ever up for swapping stories or diving into market insights, I'm just a message away.

I would say take a deeper dive into the nearby product and see if there is a premium in rents for a duplex unit versus an apartment.
