How much information did you absorb before reaching out to sellers to make your first deal?

No bank is going to let you be a 6-unit landlord without some capital behind you to fix AC units and cut the grass and absorb a vacancy. 

Your plan needs to have conservative projections and the ability to absorb a punch.  

My apologies for leaning on all of you so heavily but could you share some easy hypothetical numbers so I may absorb this better and study it?

Evictions have been frozen in some places for as much as 4 months and smaller landlords cannot absorb this shock, especially if they already own 7-10 units.  

The current note holders are looking for someone to absorb the defaults and reduction in income from foreclosure or forbearance so they don't have to take the hit.

We do stress that even though we may not be able to evict right now, this too shall pass, and there will come a time where this will affect their credit and they wont be able to rent, nor purchase a home with this on their credit.Some (not all) tenants are selfish and self absorbed, and only think about themselves.

Both of our credit is strong 750+ and my spouse has income enough to absorb a good size mortgage but need some extra cash to make the down payment for the second property so was thinking if this was do-able. 

As an agent, I work in the Atlanta area with investors like myself and out of state investors, so I think a lot of investors have started to sit on the sideline and absorb what's happening and monitoring what's going to happen.

@Jonathan K.In my SFH i have my tenants pay all utilitiesOn multifamily buildings either submeter as much as you can or you’ll need to absorb the utility fees.
