Duplex/fourplex investment property

[Kay M.]

Hi there,

I am looking into purchasing a multi family home next year. Preferable a fourplex. I have no idea where to start or which state I’d like to purchase. I’m located in the DMV. Can anyone give me a bit more insight into how to go about with this? 
I decided to start my research now to ensure that I am well versed and know what I am getting myself into.

thank you for your time
