Hey @Todd Moore, I'd say look at what else you could buy in the 130k range and see if it makes more sense financially (It should) and use that to help make a decision. You would also be able to buy a larger investment than that. With 40k out of your last property, you'd be able to look in the 160k range which opens up some really strong options. 

If you have any questions or would like to talk further please reach out.

I just saw this on Twitter the other day....

@Taneka Redman Rob had some good advice, I believe you can also use the Marketplace feature on here to post info about it.

@Clayton Anderson I am not going to make it to that event. Please reach out and we'll find another time to connect

@Clayton Anderson I began my investing in Columbus by house hacking a duplex. It's a great way to get started and learn some basics. I'd be very interested in sitting down with you to talk about your MBA experience and share anything I can about my experience as a fellow young investor. I hope to talk to you soon. 

@Maurice Colbert These are great questions to be thinking about ahead of time. Like @Robert Ellis says there are benefits to selling a primary residence. I would also encourage you to consider what selling your property and buying a true investment property would look like. You would likely see much greater cash flow going that route. 

@John Horner Would you mind sharing the bank you use. Thanks!

@Jacob Wazydrag Great advice on here so far. I've been investing in Columbus for 2 years and am enjoying it a lot. Don't feel like you need to rush in but when you find a deal be ready to act quickly because they are going fast. I'd be happy to share whats worked and what hasn't for us so far if you'd like to grab a coffee or beer sometime.

@Patrick Martone I can only speak to Columbus but 100k would go along way here on a house hack. Franklin County (Columbus) FHA max for a 4plex is $628,500 (https://entp.hud.gov/idapp/html/hicost1.cfm) so you would still have capital for more investments. But like @John Horner says its about what your goals are. I began with a house hack as my first investment property. Let me know if there is any way I can help. 

@Joshua Biondi Welcome to BP! I started out in Columbus by house hacking a duplex and am now up to 14 units. I think its a great way to start and learn the business. Good luck and let me know if I can help at all.
