Purchase real estate properties to be used as buy and hold rental units as a way to supplement my retirement income".

By using primary home loans you can put only 5% down for the home, using the cashflow from the last home to either supplement that mortgage payment OR add to your savings for the next home.

This means that if you planned to buy a property and quickly refinance to cash out, you would have to hold the mortgage for a year before doing so.But there is a workaround that can still enable you to use the BRRRR method.

I know there is the subject2, and shortsales, etc...wouldn't it just be easier to offer to buy the house from the person who is about to face foreclosure - enabling them to pay off the balance and leave them cash still for moving/new house down payment or something?

If my business partner and I find a property in DC zone as RF-1, which enables a single family home conversion into two condo units as a matter of right. 

It sounds like a good program and will enable me to fill other vacancies in the future. 

The ultimate goal of most of the investors I talk with is increasing cash flow to supplement (and eventually replace) their income and earn back their time.

I am reading through the Flipping Blueprint and The Book on Rental Property Investment ( 3rd time for both )My goal is to have a solid rental portfolio and then supplement with occasional flips.

Like anyone, I am just wanting to leave as little capital in the properties as possible thus enabling me to obtain more properties quickly. 

So I have been supplementing the operation of this RE for 2.5 years.
