I'm doing a refi on a multi-family building right now with a lender I found here on the BiggerPockets Lender Finder - https://www.biggerpockets.com/business/finder/lenders They've been able to help me get a DSCR loan which others on this post have mentioned and they've been pretty quick should be able to close before the new year in less than 3 weeks from when I started the process!

A big part of that will be condos and multi-family apartments in place of the single family homes that WERE there.

another expensive area ;-)The DMV has more 2-4 families, so I checked out a few.

I would add that SFH airbnb market here is saturated BUT I believe there is still a robust market for larger homes for family gatherings and events.

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

We came across a large single-family residence with two kitchens, right next to a commercial zone, that was previously used as a sober living facility.

., "I will buy at least one single-family home, duplex, triplex, or fourplex before the end of 2019") and then do it.

I'm involved in too many things, but that's what happens when you have a family and kids to support.

Managing from afar can be done on single family homes with a few properties, but you'll still need a solid leasing agent and handyman which can sometimes be hard to find.
