I was buying foreclosures in East PA in the early 80's for 5 to 15k a door  LOL... how many do I still have  Zero !!!

Everything I read seems to say that apartments are nice but they become more of a pain to manage instead of a single family with a good chance of a long term tenant.I know the time is now to get it but I'm driving myself crazy looking at different properties!

Hi Blair, I feel your pain there is nothing out there on the web with efficient quad designs.However I have 3 newer 4 plexes that I want to use the design from, but adding a bedroom and bath.
