Section 8 is best used as a risk mitigation tool for properties in super low income, high crime areas.

I would echo @Brandon Croucier - the secondary market for DSCR's is super aggressive and rates typically reflect that.

Personally, I started investing in both single-family and multifamily without joining any coaching programs.

The higher your equity gets on a single property, the more you are losing money. 

Mortgage lenders will qualify you for a higher purchase amount for multis than they would on a single, because they will count the rent you will be making on the other units as additional qualifying income for your loan application.

I’m 18 and super interested in real estate.

The valuation and market value of a multi family property differs from a single family and you want someone that understands the distinctions if you go that route.

He believes that area where he will be buying the new homes is going to appreciate and attract more MTRenters, but now, the big difference is that he would now have 3 properties that can go up (or potentially down) in value, go up (or down) in rent, and three times as many vacancies to fill.My back of the napkin assessment is that for only a drop in $200 a month in cash flow, he would control a lot more assets with growth potential and as rents rise over the coming years, the combined rents will increase to a total more than the single rent.HOWEVER.

But she is super happy loves work has great kids ( now granted they are 15 and 18 ) so easier for her to do this now.
