A duplex gives you the opportunity to live in one unit and rent out the other, which helps cover your mortgage and builds instant equity.

I ask you to consider this because imany first time buyers choose locations where the properties will not have a positive cash flow while they are residing in the property & the goal is just to reduce thei living expenses (i.e. have rent cover a portion of mortgage payments.) 

All living facilities on 1 level.

I manage residential properties and help real estate investors scale for a living.

You use an FHA loan to buy a 3 or 4 family, you live there for a year, and you treat the property like a value add project.

The travel nurse companies screen to have them work , they could still be a bad risk financially , or live like pigs . 

If you’re living for free or close to it, the numbers work.3.

@Clinton Springer , Since you have lived in the property for two out of the previous five years as your primary residence, you could take the first $250k ($500k if married) of the gain tax-free.
