Welcome to BP - think you are definitely starting in the right place - house hack duplex to start the real estate investing journey should be a solid bet - don't need a huge amount of capital either if you buy smart

I believe they start in the high 9's currently. you wont get to your $20k out of pocket target on this scenario specifically, but the point is, there are some lenders which will work with out of the box deal structure (for a premium).

If so, it may be difficult to start a new assisted living facility.

If so, I'd find out and start by reporting them and work to get the listing shut down on all the websites.

Excited to get started with real estate investing and network with likeminded people. 

Only way to find out is to start calling and reaching out

Thank you in advanceI started my career in RE, by working for an investor that was looking for a specific type of property.

To start, I'd do a Discounted cash flow analysis and cap it like a regular income producing rental....do you know the rent the tenants were paying in the two sales you showed?

Started out as a total newbie a few years ago.

What kind of resources, websites, or people should I start talking to so I can understand how to buy a home?
