I started off with 3 houses on a lot and another house two lots down.

.: Getting quotes for the house I'm closing on in April and wondering what to how with for coverage limit and umbrella.

We have a house in an opportunity zone in Texas that we bought in 2015, lived in for 3 years, and then made a rental in 2018.   

House hacking a 2-4 unit property with FHA (3.5% down) or Conventional (5% down) can be a smart way to start, while DSCR loans or partnerships can help if you need alternative financing.

Sometimes the internet can make us feel like all we have to do is buy a house or two and quit our job.

Your realtor will be able to give you a much more detailed market specific answer but with house hacking and a VA loan it should be possible to get 0 out of pocket.

I am currently house-hacking and will have an empty room.
