Look for off-market deals, seller financing opportunities, or even house hacking a small multi-family with an FHA loan (3.5% down) if you plan to live in one unit.For creative financing, explore seller financing, subject-to deals, and lease options.

I'm looking to exchange a multi-use property I own in the Bay Area for a multifamily property in Phoenix (looking at 15-19 units).

well you dont say how much you have in it.. but if you can sell now and lose 10k and get out of a HML that would be my suggestion.HML  if they go into default interest and you could look at losing quite a bit especially if your HML is one of those that are not forgiving and wont give an inch on what they are owed.

This amounts to lost opportunity because if you had purchased RE, at the closing it can start producing return. 5) ADUs detract from the existing structure whether this is privacy, a garage, or just yard space. 6) this is related to number 1, but there are many more buyers looking to purchase homes for their family than there are RE investors looking to purchase small unit count properties.

Look at their marketing strategy.

@Caleb Genry I'm looking for a easy to use spreadsheet as well.

I have not personally tried the Wire feature though.I am an Accountant and use it and refer my clients to it as well, connect with me and I will look to see what the costs are to send a wire, they do allow free check and ACH payments if timing is not a factor.I had a client who used Titan, and as an Accountant I did not like it.

Here is what that looks like: https://idahorealtors.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/RE-5-Pr....

Howdy all,  I’m an architect and first-time house hacker looking at a Duplex in Oklahoma City.

Look at their marketing strategy.
