@Collin Luckettjust curious - do you have a successful track record of flips, or are you looking to do your very first one? 

In 2025 does it make sense to build a 4plex and house hack it or is it better to buy existing multi-family? 

Most hard money lenders base their terms on the deal’s equity and your experience, so with a solid flip track record like yours, you should be able to find better leverage — especially if the deal has a strong ARV.What's the ARV on the property?

I've flipped 6-8 houses, made good profit on those, and just purchased my first 4-unit multi for mainly cost seg purposes/long-term appreciation. 

Currently I work as a Project Supervisor, we do rehab in multi-family units.

To determine price range, the first step is always figuring our how much you are pre-approved for; and that can vary significantly when you are looking at multi-unit properties because of the additional variable of rental income that can be included in qualifying.

I started with Ken McElroy's books, because 1) clearly he knows what he is talking about given his track record and trajectory and 2) because I had easy access to them. 

If I need to sell, a SFH is a lot easier to sell than a multi-family boat anchor if you’re in a bind.

Look into Baselane it’s designed specifically for real estate investors, You get automated rent collection, expense tracking, it makes it easier to manage properties, stay organized, and keep up with your finances. 

Hey everyone,I’m diving into multi-family real estate in Los Angeles and California and looking to connect with like-minded people as I build my portfolio.
