I am new to REI my plan is to buy a duplex with my credit (have good credit no kids or student loans) and within 6 months purchase another duplex as well. What would be the best way to do this?

    Do you have enough cash for the downpayment on both of these properties?

    The first purchase you can do with a low down payment of 3.5% through FHA. But the next one you will likely need 10-20%, even if you tell them you are going to occupy 1 side of the second and rent out the unit you were in from the first duplex.

    Why not just go right to a 4-plex with FHA?

    @Debra Grumbach never thought about going directly with the 4plex. How would I go about it? Use credit or lenders?
