HI StuartThanks for the detailed reply.Part of the research process for me is posting in the forums and hearing a variety of responses, since many times online sources are just promotion of services that solve a problem related to the search term.

However, I recently stumbled upon an intriguing concept called PadSplit that allows you to leverage the multifamily concept within a single-family property, ultimately maximizing income potential.

I know they are duplexes everywhere, and I know ultimately depends on your choice of city.

Ultimately think long term and think about what you want to get out of this. 

The website will be difficult to do from my experience with out of country websites promoting illegal activites.

In order to get out of Freddie Mac's "Limited Multifamily Experience Sponsor" category, you must have ultimate ownership & control of either (i) 3 multifamily properties [1 of which you've owned for at least 2 years], or (ii) 1 multifamily property which you've owned for at least 5 years. 

The only times that I've allowed this was a situation where there was a cleaning or a maintenance issue, which ultimately falls on me.  

Reels are a nice teaser, but that only promotes the agent, not the property.We sell about 100 properties every year.

I should have asked what didn't go according to plan and how they handled it, and what the ultimate outcome was since the brief summary of that deal just says they sold at a profit.4.
