Investment Info:

Small multi-family (2-4 units) other investment.

Purchase price: $285,000
Cash invested: $100,000

Multifamily purchased in 2021 and we did upgrades to the property to boost rental income. Monthly mortgage is $2200. We currently live in the home and will be doing so for another 2-3 years to build up equity. Eventually we will move out and rent out all 3 floors, this will in turn increase our monthly income and also build up equity to buy more investment properties.
