How to find a local TriPlex or Quad

[Rick Doctor]

Hey BP Nation,

I am looking to stop dragging my feet and get my first investment property this year. I want to get a Quadraplex because I want to eventually hold a portfolio of multifamily apartments buildings and I thought that a Quad would be a good start. I bought my first home last year and finally talked my wife into being ok if we were to house hack ourselves into a Quadraplex (if it were necessary).

I have access to the MLS, but I can't find any QUAD or Triplex deals on there. Where do I go to find these deals? What are some of your best approaches to finding these deals?

I live in Jacksonville, Florida.

Hi, 

Does your MLS search include a Multifamily selection? Check Realtor.com as well, buy MLS should list all.
