Hardest for me was finding a multi-family that had big enough rooms for me to feel good giving to my friends in exchange for their hard-earned money. A lot of the older duplexes in my area have bedroom that are just so damn small. I would've felt bad sticking my friends in them.
The duplexes that did work out I was outbid every time. Eventually after 6 months I said F it and got a 5 bedroom single family with larger rooms. We're all happy in it and the mortgage is completely covered, so I'm happy on that front as well
