Tulsa - First-timer multifamily questions

[Kevin S.]

Hey, I'm a first-timer with a few questions. I'm planning on looking to purchase a multifamily unit to house hack (probably a duplex but we'll see) in a few months and I'm trying to get ahead on gathering information. For those of you who have experience in the Tulsa market, do you have any suggestions on finding listings? Do you typically rely on a good agent to help you find properties (and if so do you recommend anyone)? Although I'm not yet ready to buy, I've been keeping an eye on some listings and it seems like multifamily units in Tulsa move FAST.

Also, on the rental side of it all, what kind of vacancy percentages are you guys seeing (in general)?

Thanks for the help!

Kevin S. ... your post is full of questions that will all get different answers unless you narrow them down to a specific area or class of rental... you want A and B areas or C and D? Rehab needed? I doubt you’ll get much response unless you narrow it down...
Deren Huang is a good person/realtor to work with but keeps pretty busy. If he can’t help directly he may know someone that can work with you to find something.

No matter what area, condition, or size... first thing you need to do is find a lender or have all your financials lined up to move quick.

Good luck!
