If the only MFH options you're finding are in areas you're not comfortable with, it might be worth focusing on a duplex in a better neighborhood.Saving up for a larger property later is a valid approach too, but keep in mind that real estate tends to appreciate over time, and waiting might make it harder to enter the market later.

The property has remained 100% occupied throughout my ownership and is on track to continue receiving market rents from both tenants.

Focus on learning market trends, property valuation, and different investment strategies.

I was sent an offering memo by a broker selling a multi-family building in an area no reasonable person would even consider affordable housing material yet the marketing materials made a point of emphasis to detail how the property would satisfy the need for affordable housing.

My first duplex was a turnkey, off market property.

I am trying to figure out what to do with this property and would love to hear your thoughts or ideas around this.The rent is below market but the apartments arent updated.Options:-We could keep the property and make the repairs, but would be at a loss for a couple years until rent covers expenses.

This allocation should be based on the fair market value of each component, typically determined through an appraisal or the values agreed upon in the purchase agreement.

Having a problem tenant and dealing with eviction could happen in any market.

Purchase price: $62,000 Cash invested: $60,000 Project in progress: Off market dealPurchase: $62,000Rehab: $60,000ARV: $165,000 What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

There are only 2 ways, as I see it in the current market, to get actual income/cash flow from a rental property - a paid off long term/mid term property or a well bought short term or rent by the room rental.
