Is there any mortgage broker you could recommend for a MF newbie?

The issue here is that with investment rates as they are, I'd have to put more down (25% vs 20%) and then I'd be left with a long road to rebuild or repay that downpayment before I could repeat.

Unit A is about 100 years old and Unit B is almost completely new.Pros:-The duplex is in a very desirable neighborhood with home value appreciation year over year at about 50+%-Rent is also in high demand within this area-Cash flows well even with high interest rates and increasing property taxes-Home is price below average cost per sq ft-The house has been renovated and some parts of it has been remodeledCons:-All issues are with Unit A, the 100 year old unit.

My goals with the money will be to retire early, travel (I am a Flight Attendant), pay off my parents mortgage, give back to those in need, save money, and be able to do the things I want to do without the burden of constantly worrying about money. 

Factors such as higher interest rates, taxes, and insurance can significantly impact potential returns for investors.Remember, success in real estate investment often hinges on buying properties at the right price rather than selling them.
