Investment Info:
Large multi-family (5+ units) buy & hold investment.
Purchase price: $850,000
We purchased a 14-unit multi-family property (duplexes) in October 2021 for $850,000. This started us on our real estate journey. After a tenant moved out of a unit we turned it into an short term rental that brings in 2-3x more income monthly for the unit than that of a long term renter.

Through cleaning the siding of the duplexes, painting and landscaping. Also, we upgrade flooring when we move new tenants in.
