Also i just closed on my first duplex and I’m excited to be getting into the rental game making me a landlord at the age of 25 .I’m motivated and looking to expand my portfolio to 1 to 5 duplex…5 to 10 and with god willing i hope i will hit my goal . 

You may be able to find someone to invest with you as an equity partner, but people usually like to see the person they're investing with have skin in the game. 

Because I kept looking I found a SFH just weeks later that cash flows positively as a LTR but does so much better in the STR game. 

I know cash flow is king and it kind of messes with your head when your barely breaking even or even in the negative on a property but If your a buy and hold who has 20 to 30 years in the game like I do, who really wins in the end the cashflow team or the appreciation team. 

A first position lender (the one that provides 75% loan) would not likely loan you money if you don't have "skin in the game", i.e. down-payment.

With little experience in the note game and never even been to Arizona it was extremely easy to manage.

*One unit will be occupied by me*The current deal(s) I have negotiated -Purchase Price: $518kCredits: $7k credit for closing costs (from owner)Financing: 3.5% down ($18.1k down)orPurchase Price: $539kCredits: $7k credit for closing costs (from owner) and $21k credit to my pocket (cashiers check).Financing: 3.5% down ($18.9k down)Essentially, I get my down payment back and have no skin in the game.

This Mixed-Use Short term and long term apartment building was a rare find! ...

I haven’t bought a property for a couple years and I’m looking to get back into the game.

I have thought about trying the STR game, but there seems to be a lot more work that goes into them over the long term or you need to be able to find people who can run all the systems for you.
