But now we’re trying to decide if it’d make more sense for us to start with the BRRRR strategy on an investment property first and then look for a multifamily primary residence later given our situation and the market conditions.  

I am looking for my new primary residence rather than an investment property, although I do have another investment property which was bought without the wealth of knowledge on BP. 

Here, you can communicate your message and you can search and respond to posts from residents who need your services.Local ContactsVirtual channels are great, but don’t get so caught up in social media that you forget to make contact the old fashioned way—by knocking on doors.

It usually helps me understand the market rather than guessing if one of two amounts is way off base due to one guy being pricier generally, or one guy missing something in his estimation, or different levels of quality, or sometimes what seems like random chance.  

The strategy would work  better if it were your primary residence, but it becomes more difficult if you're trying to convert a SFH to a true two-tenant duplex.1) You'd must likely be violating zoning (Unless area was zoned MF), so you'd have to hope the conversion flies under the radar.2) Utilities is the biggest hurdle, as a SFH only has one water, electric, and gas meter.

I have no issue paying for services rendered but a random text doesn’t fit that criteria to a tee.

@Casey BriggsIf this is primary residence; there may be restrictions with lender.  

However, there is a part of my mortgage that says I need to use the condo as my primary residency. 

But I realistically need the equity from my primary residence to close the deal.
