Quote from @Tayvion Payton: Hey everyone,I'm evaluating a multi-family deal and could really use your insight.

Hi BP family !!!

I actually have a wholesale oppurtunity on a multi-family Four-plex that I just promoted on the "Real Estate Classified" section of the Bigger Pockets website!

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment in The Villages.

I have not every purchased property in Canada, but my wife is Canadian and I've seen some of the issues her family has had to deal with.  

I have built enough capital to feel comfortable investing heavily and am interested in either a flip, small multi family, or commercial.

You're right that it's getting tougher to find solid cash-flowing properties ($600 or more) in Grand Rapids, but the appreciation potential of a single-family home or duplex in Grand Rapids would be much better than that of a mobile home.

A 1031 exchange will allow you to sell your building and use the proceeds to invest in a small multi family and/or medium term rentals.

About 5 years ago one of the sellers we bought a multi family from told us about a company that has a lot of landlords like us and we coshare insurance coverage.

My wife and I are tied to this area due to being in proximity to family and we currently enjoy a farming/hobby farm lifestyle that is a big part of our family culture.
