Hello! My wife and I are about to buy our first home. We are both pretty young (22) so we are not walking around with tons of cash, but we think this is the perfect time to start investing. We are going to buy a duplex to live in and rent the other side out, so we can “live for free”. This being our first and main residency we can take advantage of a 3.5% down payment. My plan is to invest the money we would normally pay for the mortgage into another down payment for a rental. I understand by doing that I will at least have to have a 20% down payment. However, that got me thinking. If instead of buying a house to rent, what if we bought another house to live in while we rent out both sides of the duplex. Then buy another and keep repeating the process. I understand that technically that would be our second home. So my question is, is this a good investing process when you’re short on cash? Would we still have to pay a 20% down payment or are there any ways around that? Also any other recommendations for investing young? Anything is appreciated, thank you!
Thank you Tamara!
Hello, I am wholesaling a house in my home state (Indiana). However, the seller who owns the property lives in Maryland. How would I go about this if he can't make it back to Indiana? Anything helps, Thanks!
