Investment Info:

Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

Purchase price: $137,000

Cash invested: $6,850

This was the first duplex I bought and house hacked.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Honestly I since this was my first rental and I was also going to be living in it, I was somewhat emotional about the deal and didn't really dive into the financials as much as I should have.

How did you finance this deal?

Financed this deal with a residential 30yr note with 5% down

    Hey Dave, Christian here. I’m currently in the valley area trying to do a house hack method as well. I’m just scared to hop in because I don’t make much annually right now. Do you think 40k annually is enough to get started & accept with an fha loan ?
