We're exploring the idea of purchasing a duplex/triplex together so she can live in one unit while we rent out the other unit(s).  

I want to network and explorer opportunities with like minded investors in DFW Texas area as well as other areas in South Florida - Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach areas.

I can't provide any help, as I'm just now exploring the world of REI myself,  but I'm always open to chat and mutual learning.

I would love to ask questions and get more involved.I have slowly been buying rental properties for the past five years using the old fashioned and conservative method.

I've seen this many times where people have to defend their method because they put money down and want to try to act as if that puts them in some position of propriety over people who they mistakenly believe can't or need to.

If you follow this method, you'll continue to build without actually spending any money.Now, with all this said, after the refis, each property must still cash flow at a minimum (decided by you...mine is 300/month).
