And although it’s not necessary, it is a nice touch to bring your business to a credit union or lender whose funds stay in the local economy.

Account Closed: I sure wish I could afford a duplex but the market here in the Denver area is just way to expensive and the feeding frenzy going on doesn’t allow any good deals to stay on the market. 

I moved into the home with my girlfriend at the time, and we oscillated between having roommates and running an airbnb business out of the home to stay above water, among other things.

Tenants stay in SFR longer than in duplexes or apartments.

Thinking that we need to sell in order to buy is a scarcity mentality and I need to stay away from that haha.
