Thank you Ali…I am thinking the same thing…if I bought a house for myself, it just seems like it would slow me down…I will be paying into something that will not be a return on investment for a very long time.

Thank you for the responses...my main goal is to accumulate properties...so I want to move towards that goal...not emotionally attached to where I live...I am thinking a multi-family is exciting...what is the best way to find out what areas are best to invest in..?...I'm in the Dallas market.

Soooo…here is my dilemma…should I stay living in an apartment while I accumulate rental properties so that I free up my debt ratio…for even more income properties?…or should I buy a home to live in and just accumulate properties as I can?…or maybe live there for 2 years with the ultimate goal of using it as an income property?…I have debated this for over 1 year…any help would be great…thanks !!!!
