Hello all,

I am currently working on finding my first small multifamily property to purchase in the Phoenix, Az area before 2018 is over (house hack). Have been running the numbers on a couple duplexes/4 plexes and looking into how I can potentially increase rents once I would take over a property. I understand this may be different in different areas but was just curious if there was an average/rule of thumb on how much you could increase rents if you supply the units with a washer/dryer for the tenant instead of just having the hookups for them to supply their own. Also, any other creative ways to increase rents would be helpful as well! (Also looking into splitting the water meters so tenants cover their own water bills). Any tips/tricks would be appreciated!

Thank you,

Brandon

Hello all,

I am in the market to buy an owner occupied duplex on an FHA loan in the Phoenix, AZ area. Looking at a top price of around $215,000. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Hello all,

I just graduated college and am still navigating the job market looking for a full time W2 job, so I can't get conventional financing right now. I have some capital saved up to spend on an investment property though. Would most likely start as an owner occupied but doesn't need to be. Looking around the $400,000 and under price range for fourplexes in the Phoenix, AZ area. If that price can get me even more units, that would be even better. Thanks for any and all help!

Thanks a lot @Dave Visaya! I really appreciate the welcome

@Rebecca Knox I will more than likely be looking to purchase in the Phoenix area, as I would like to be within driving distance to my first property so I can keep an eye on it and manage it myself. Thank you for the referral! 

Hello Everyone,

My name is Brandon Knudtson and I am working on getting started in REI. I have been a lurker on this site for many months but decided its time to introduce myself to the community and get more involved. I currently live in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area but am looking to soon relocate (sometime in 2018) to the Phoenix, Arizona area. As far as REI, I am looking to start out by house hacking a four-plex and work my way up from there. I would like to join the buy and hold space by starting with buying multi-family buildings (4 units starting out and hopefully bigger unit properties the more experience I gain). I look forward to connecting and communicating with more of you and happy investing!

Cheers,

Brandon
