Buying an owner occupied property every year

I've owned rentals for three years but I'm putting this in the newbie forum just because it's seems kind of grandiose to me. 

I want to buy a duplex every year. 5-10% down. These go for roughly $150k in my city. Good cashflow at $900 each side (should be enough to cover PMI and other expenses).

My thinking is that I'll use the good RTV in the city to cover my "carry costs" and then make my money back with appreciation + principal paydown. 

What do you think of this idea?

Hi @Alex Silang,

Fannie Mae will do 85% LTV for an owner occupied duplex. That's the only hiccup I see in executing the Nomad Strategy as you wish to do it, with duplexes.
