Multi family (2-4) units. Getting started

[William Silva]

Hello BP, 

I’m writing this post for all the rookies (myself included) I think it will be very helpful for anyone who is getting started. 

I invite seasoned investors to share their experience buying their first 2-4 unit properties. 
here are some questions to base your response/story

1) how did you find your first property ? Was it off-market, or on the mls?

2) if you were getting started today, and take ONE piece of information you know now, what would that be?

3) how did you decide on the specific city you chose to invest in? A lot of rookies will get stuck in analysis paralysis and get overwhelmed on what market to buy in. 

If you have anything else of value to add, please do so!  I thank you in advance for taking your time to provide us with your knowledge
