First and best to date investment property!
Investment Info:
Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.
Purchase price: $245,000

This property is a main house, and an apartment above the detached garage in back. Basically 2 homes on 1 lot! I moved in the main house, prepared for Airbnb, then moved into the back apartment once the main house was ready to rent. At that point, it was a "live for free" investment. Today it's a cash flowing rental property both short and medium term!
