3 should i get an fha loan with less down and a little bit bigger of a property 3-4 units or a larger down loan to have more equity off rip and maybe a duplex or 3 unit that needs some work?  

Quote from @Matt Mcdavis: Finally found an off market duplex in NJ that the numbers look good on for a BRRRR however it is a much older home built in the early 1900s with some problems.

How do you make sure you don't get ripped off?

U know bad guys who just rip rents or payments with no intention of ever paying on Sub to loan. 

First off, thanks for your time in reading this and your input.

After you pay off the debt, you may should have enough for a down payment and can start saving for a rental. 

When we purchased this property we were banking on interest rates coming down (RIP) to make a long-term venture worth the effort.We've been discussing options to make this property more financial beneficial to all parties (e.g., my wife and I and my parents) and have been discussing a private loan wherein my parents would pay off the balance of the loan and then finance the property to my wife and I at a lower interest rate (4.75-5.25% for 20-30 years).

Quote from @Cody Swyers: Hello everyone,Has anyone on here ever started off the investment journey with a 32-unit property or something comparable to that?

There are a few of ways to find off market deals.
