@Eric Janson, we're told that we'd need 20-25% down for a duplex property.
We plan to pay the minimum required. Thank you!

Hi All,
Besides our current home, which we are not interested in paying off, we have about $30K of debt, highest interest is 5% (2 cars and few thousand in student loan debt). We are bringing in much high income with contract work, so want to make sure we do what makes the most sense.
My husband is looking for our first flip, no luck as of yet. We are putting aside funds for 25% down payment on our first rental property. Will be a duplex, likely around $200K and will most likely have tenants already (these are our goals, but are ok with it not being this way).
Would you put all funds towards down payment on property or knock out debt and then proceed w/ down payment?
Thanks for reading and weighing in!

I do have a tax prep that I think is great, pm me for that info. Also, be sure to join CIREIA. Welcome to REI.

This is interesting I've never heard of them. Maybe because I'm new to REI and I do live in Indy. I will look them up, thanks for posting.

I agree with the above, and also if your properties are in flood areas

hm, what kind of data are you looking for? what's for sale? the rates? if that's it, you could have a local MLS set you up an automatic listing if you have a friend in that area.
