Of course, assuming you have the equity, credit, etc. 

The duplex I bought about 6 months ago (in 2023 as the market cooled off) came in under my appraisal, which means I had free equity, and I paid less than 60k of what he had it listed for on the market a few months prior. 

How long will you have to carry the debt before you have enough homes paying lot rent to cover a 400K loan.

This was a fix and flip I did about a year ago with about 35,000$ of sweat equity put into.

Has anyone used crowd funding or perhaps a private equity reit to fund a deal in the 2 million dollar range and if so how did you set it up and make it attractive to investors while keeping it profitable on the back end to actually run and maintain the property correctly? 

ANCHOR LOANS – I usually do not post on this forum.

Even if you are actively operating as an STR the lender will look to tax returns for income, so if it has been less than a year they will still go on LTR income.You need to factor in that your lender is going to underwrite any loan based on LTR income only. 

To make money you have to get a good loan and leverage, appreciation hopefully, HOA can't control and keep it rented.   

I know that nothing is free, and that some programs require you to pay the DPA loan back before you move out but what else is there to have in mind that I should know about.

This put it into light for me so much highly appreciate this getting more and more familiar with the previews everyday understating it and putting it into action I have been talking to agents and also looking at properties and doing the numbers nd applying for loans.
