Is it a good idea to only own 1-2 multi families?

[Adrian Gallant]

Hello, I have been searching for two-three family properties in the Bridgeport CT area for the last year now with minimal luck. I have expanded my radius to include:

Bridgeport, Stratford, Shelton, Derby, Ansonia, Milford, and West Haven.

I am beginning to get discouraged. Part of me is wondering if investing in 1-2 multifamily properties is even worth the hassle? Would the cash flow be worth the time and effort required to maintain these properties? It’s hard enough to find a deal right now, I’d hate to have ended up wasting all my time in the end if I even manage to purchase a property or two. 

Thank you!
