From that experience, I got the idea of just building a multifamily (ideally a quadruplex) from the ground up as my next home to house hack in.I've done some preliminary research and had some questions if any experts care to chime in:+ There aren't many multifamily zoned lots in metro Atlanta.

@Preston Dean So those searches aren't giving me anything for my area, probably because the Upper Peninsula of Michigan isn't exactly Hollywood or South Florida.

I know MLS listings aren't guaranteed accurate, but getting the acreage, city and zip code wrong is hard to swallow as an honest mistake.We have a financing contingency, so if it doesn't appraise for the contract amount due to the lower acreage and different city/zip, we can renegotiate purchase price.

I'm completely new to real estate and am doing all I can to educate myself in really all things real estate.

The tenants have paid and if someone is thinking about moving out then an extra surcharge that hits if they aren't out in time for us to turn the place for a lucrative AirBNB short term rental can help massage the move out timing.That said with MTR we do not have the cleaning costs that eat up a lot of STR gross, and its lower hassle in some ways.  

If you are one of the few that aren't then you might want to include it.

If you aren't failing, you aren't learning.What are some recent failures of yours?

It should be a requirement to be educated in that space prior to licensure.

Educate yourself enough to be able to identify if a property does or doesn't align with that goal.

EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!
