How many subject-to financing deals can I lawfully make?
Is there a limit to the amount of multi-families I can acquire through subject-to/seller financing? Is there a law stating that I have to wait so-and-so amount of time between each acquisition?

So if you are ACQUIRING on seller financing, then renting it out, not living in it, it is infinite.
Seller financing does not go on the credit report as does FHA or Conventional financing, and if you use land trusts for privacy reasons, an asset search can be difficult in case you get sued.

I'm also assuming by "multi-family" the OP means more than 4 units. Putting buying for a business purpose aside, lending on more than 4 units is not governed by Dodd Frank.
