Plus I have seen and helped many people buy househacks here in SD, some working on their 3rd property now, and have 1M in equity using very low down payments to get there. 

My credit score is 720+ and a down payment for an average property in Louisville, KY shouldn’t be a problem. 

If the mortgage rates are higher, that means the US debt payments will be higher because its tied to the federal fund rate.

Consider that the other unit is paying or close to paying the debt service and you have little to no house payment. 

Would you rather invest in duplex in CA that breaks even or invest in RE syndication for 2 years that offers you expected 18% annually Example: Duplex in CA costs around $600k, down payment $120k, rent = mortgage payment+real estate tax + insurance (if interest drops by 1%, then expected cash flow could be $200-$300 per month) RE syndication is offering 18%, in 2 years, I can expect to make $43,200 without lifting a finger..The numbers are favoring more towards RE syndication, in the past I have only done rentals never invested in RE syndication.

Hi! I am hoping to see if anyone has advice on opening a brokerage where one owner is the broker and the other owner is an investor. I am a rental property investor and have about 35 properties. I am opening a brokera...

You will run out of money for down payments quickly buying rent ready rentals & the STR income can fluctuate greatly depending on the season / state of the economy.

25% down payment.

FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS:1.1 Party 1 Responsibilities:Party 1 shall contribute to the partnership for the down payment, closing costs, and construction costs for renovations and additions.1.2 Party 2 Responsibilities:Party 2 shall independently pay the mortgage until both properties are rented, oversee construction and renovation, manage both rentals, and handle bookkeeping during construction.2.

Only problem is with a short term my monthly mortgage payment will be 2K, and will cut deep into my cashflow during that time.With a little work I can get my COC to 3.1% per month for that 12 years.Appreciation is about average in this area and I expect to get about 4% annually maybe 5%.
