1/1 bed/bath Fourplex w/ no laundry worth investing?
Hey everyone so I'm a first time investor looking into multifamily properties in Charlotte, NC. Basically I'm looking at a fourplex for 125K. It says it has upgraded plumbing, water heaters, and electrical. My concern is that each unit is only 1 bed/1 bath and the property has no laundry. Is that a deal breaker?

After you figure out the current finances and if it is doable, also look at where the property may/can go long term. I have a 4-plex all 1-bedrooms and never have any trouble renting the units. Location is key. It is located near the hospital/downtown area so I attract graduate Med and Law Students and they pay their rent. This is in Jackson, MS and not a metropolis. There are other units similar to mine, which even may be more updated in the area and the property still gets consistent tenants and attraction. My 1-bedroom units are large compared to the market (800SF), and when I first viewed the property I liked that aspect. Over time, I added W/D to all the units(modified the closets) and made cosmetic changes as tenants moved out. My rents have been raised over time over $300 more/month. So the cashflow in the beginning is not nearly what it is today, with the changes made overtime. Good Luck!
