Hi all,I want to buy my first triplex or duplex.

They mentioned they live debt free and don't ever buy on anything on credit.  

Looking to start in Memphis buying long-term rentals or flipping.

I plan on buying at least a couple other 2-3 unit properties in the area (Newark, Jersey City, East Orange) over the next 2 years, so it will be great have a contact.

Freshworks shines with its AI-powered functionalities.I am least excited about the need to cold call on properties and the need for sales and marketing so I will be digging on anything that identifies quality properties.

The owner is ok to let me buy at a good price so I am about to proceed.I have never dealt with Section 8.

Make sure there's no rent control and try to cover your a$$ before you buy so you're comfortable and cut out risks.

A benefit to having the commercial property and entity is that we aim to utilize business credit, so that our personal credit and debt to income ratio is not tanked as we remodel or redesign or buy furniture. 

One person is extrapolating out the depths of the inner city to the entire market as far as long term viability for investment, when the other person is actually considering A/B neighborhood buy and hold. 

Any suggestions on how to best structure the deal in order to put down less cash or be able to take the cash out if I buy it low enough?
