Quadplex? Apartments? College Rental? HELP!!

[Matt Huss]

Hey All, I am a local Residential Agent here in Tampa, Fl. I have a decent amount of cash saved up ready to be spent on a downpayment for my first investment property.

Problem is, I don't want to take the traditional route of buying a duplex or SFR. Ideally, I would like to start with a quadplex/college rental/apartment building to increase my cash flow from the start.

I'd love your honest input and strategies you've used. Especially surrounding the finance side of everything and the most effective way to do that. 

Any experiences, lessons learned, and honest advice is much appreciated.

Feel free to ask any questions for clarification on my end!

Best,

Matthew Huss
