Thank you. I appreciate all of the helpful information. I am curious what you guys thought about 4 units vs 2 or 3? Is there an advantage to less units? It would seem to me that cash flow is better at 4, but what are the disadvantages to a fourplex?

Yeah Snohomish County mostly, possibly Island/Skagit/maybe northern King County. A House Hack would be ideal to begin with but I’m looking to end up with good cash flow so I would hope to have several Multi-Families. I figured if I’m going to invest in a duplex/triplex, why not a Fourplex? Go as big as I can while staying out of the commercial loans.

Hi, I’m new to BiggerPockets. I’ve been listening to the podcast and I’m really interested in investing in Multi-family properties. I haven’t done any REI before, but I’m about to sell my home this summer (purchased in 2012) and should have a large chunk of cash to invest with. It’s hard to find a good Four-plex for less than $1 mil. I feel like it should be cheaper to buy a small piece of property and do new construction. Does anybody know of trustworthy contractor in the Snohomish County area? Or possibly Island County? My family and I are considering moving to Whidbey Island. The commute wouldn’t be so bad from my work(Boeing). Anything helps. Thanks.

It’s hard to find a good Four-plex for sale that’s a good enough deal to be worth it. I’m curious if anyone knows the rough cost estimate of building a new construction Four-plex in Snohomish County? Or if I contact some contractors what is a good deal/bad deal? Or is it even worth it? Any info helps. Thanks.
