theoretically a eight plex because econmy of scale kicks in. also if one unit isn't rented i a quad your at a 25% vacancy. whats it in a 8 plex 12.5 percent.

j scott you mention 100% Ltv how do you get that on a 4 unit. the only place I know of is a VA loan

Thank all of you for the input. lowering the rent was pretty helpful as well as having the 24 clause in the contract. Laura thank you as well for your input I just think I would be a lot better as selling investments that SFH's and would like to add you to get occasional help or ask questions when and if I have any.

I was going to start real estate investment this year but decided to grow my capital a little by volunteering to be deployed for the second year in a row. ( the first was iraq).

I'll be using my VA loan to buy a 4 unit and plan on refinancing and moving into another four my entire life as often as I can.(under the rules of the VA loan) or atleast until I get sick of it (living with tenants)

I hear what you saying and I been reading online alot about this.

It seems SFH's are doable and bigger value add apartment complexes, but that takes corporations or a very strong investment support team

I would like to start small and in my 30's start getting into 20 plus unit buildings.
:)

True LOL

allrght has anyone bought undervalued multifamilies fixed them up stabilized rent and than sold them and continued to do this instead of single family properties.

I was wondering if we could start a topic about rehabbing small multifamily building 2-10 units.

maybe starting with what to look for and good ways to get started.

Jauffrey I was going to start a real estate business when I came home from Iraq, instead elected to go on another deployment (kuwait)

to get to the point I been interested in doing what your questioning except at a smaller scale maybe 2-10 units. Mainly to make capital for my own Rentals. As well as to pitch management services to people that buy the properties when I start my management business.

Bill the reason I never got in touch with you is because I volunteered To go to Kuwait and have been busy. This deployment would end until 2011. But I should be close to a bacheloras in Finance

sir I would learn the 50% rule they hae on here (do a search) and read about how to find good deals. ie motivated sellers. A lot fo times the realtors properties for single family homes are overpriced to make room for negotiatinon and still they won't go low enough to make a deal able to cash flow.
