my cuz bought his first home as a triplex, and his own personal mortgage covers the building. and the other 2 apts he rents out is extra $$
I own my own home and a separate condo that I rent out. I don't make a lot of money from the rental. as I invest all that money back in to the principal. and I'll make all my money through equity when I sell and reup to buy 2 or three more.
same with my personal home. I am putting an extra 25% on my mortage EVERY month. I've knocked off 15 years of mortgage in 5 years by doing this.
I'll be mortgage free on my own home in 10 years
Then Ill sell that and buy/build my dream home and live that life.
I'm tryna get on the condo flex but to buy it pre-construction, not only does thr value go up when it's constructed but in years as well and to rent it in the meantime.
I feel you on buying run down spots like homes or duplexes/triplexes, but finding those are hard and when you do it's not usually in a desirable location
What city you in?
