@Brianna Buscemi Sometimes it’s worth it to wait a little longer to reach your goals.

If I was dreaming of a duplex I wouldn’t rush the deal and just buy a SF simply to be buying.

Personally I scan the MLS every night in my target markets. It tends to get me results much faster than I receive results from the searches I have set up. The searches in my area typically run 2-3 days behind the actual listings which can make or break a deal sometimes.

Great advice Alecia. My personal suggestion, get with an agent in your local market, ask them to set you up on property alerts through the MLS. Then, you'll get alerts as soon as the property becomes available with the specifications you're looking for. That's what I do for my clients. It's more effective and faster. What markets are you looking in, btw?

Thank you for all your replies it really is appreciated. I’m looking for residential multi-family’s in the the Tampa Bay Area, so that includes mostly all surrounding cities.

Hi guys. I’m a newbie, I’ve always dreamt of buying multi-family units & now I’m finally at a place where I have proof of income and make decent money. 
upon further research, here in Florida it’s difficult to find any without major rehab work. That being said, I’ve found a townhome, new construction, with the interest rate incentives as low as 3.99 & 4.99 it a a great area. I plan on living there for a year and renting out after. I know it could rent and essentially pay for itself. But I guess my question is, is it worth letting go of the duplex dream for now and rent out single family unit? Or wait and scan the market for a multi family I can afford? TIA.
