I looked at my first multifamily unit! HELP

[Deylan Frady]

Good morning all! I looked at a few multifamily houses yesterday ,for the start of my investing journey! I was pretty sad seeing the living conditions of some of these homes.. The term "slum lord" really started coming alive looking at these houses. Does everyone have this experience with multifamily homes? I was thinking to myself if i ever had to come into these units on emergency and fix something.. I couldn't work in that environment for more than 30 minutes. I asked a couple of the current tenants and they pay roughly ~$500.00 a month including utilities.. Do you guys have better experience with a duplex/ apartments vs. multifamily homes?? Thanks in advance!
