It's great to hear about your success with this multi-family buy-and-hold investment.

How long did it take and what's next? 

@Steven Cornell think of this scenario, what if you have a turnover and your cleaning lady quits that day.

Do this before rent just stops, and you're a worse situation.

Went from a single family flipper investment to a duplex for more cashflow How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

GEt some Credit Cards, spend a little every month and pay off, then get higher limits and repeat.

You always get what you pay for...or less.Full service brokers should be experts who will maximize your real estate value through pricing, negotiation and terms.Discount brokers charge too much for too little value.

You bought a 6plex for $75,000 and are all in for $170,000 today?
