@Gregg Heminger Congratulations, based off of your replies I am guessing you are going to self-manage?

 Maybe at least initially. Haven’t heard a good answer yet as to whether or not the Prop Mgt companies up here do anything other than collect rents and list availability. 

In the lower 48 do you all have this issue or does your Prop Mgt do lawn/snow as well?

I don't know what the market is like in your area, but something to consider: in areas where there are not many 4 plexes, often the price will become inflated due to lots of people being able to use an FHA loan to purchase. In Tulsa where Im located we have this issue. I see a 4 plex pop up on market maybe once every couple of months and its always vastly overpriced. But they sell because of the ease of purchase. Just something to keep in mind, depending on the numbers you may decide to flip the property.

 Thanks for the heads up Will!

Living in Fairbanks is very unique indeed Nicole. Finding the right deal has been tough - read well over 50 listings and analyzed a good number of them using the BP calculators. 

My son and one of the partners in our venture is a RE agent - so being knowledgeable about the properties is super helpful. 

Our 4-plex came on the market and for some reason was blacked out for showings. It listed for $299,900. Good bit of price differential from the 48. 

We ran the numbers and based on what we have to invest in it, it should produce $900 in cash flow a month and approx 16.5% cash ROI.

We are going to hold it and learn about managing a property for the next year and do it again. 

Thanks for all the kind words and encouragement!

Made our first purchase yesterday - a 4 plex in downtown Fairbanks, Alaska!  Have been studying all of the webinars, books, all the BP posts I can find. We decided it was time to stop filling our heads and start building a portfolio. You all have been super helpful and encouraging. Thanks!
