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

But I'm getting substantial pushback from family exactly for being on-call like that for so long.

I inherited a S8 tenant with my new 2-family home in NYC.

@Jennie Berger The RS-3 Zone allows for Single-Family residences & 2-Flats as "Permitted Uses"; however, the RS-3 Zone still requires 2,500 sq.ft. of lot area per unit (i.e. 5,000 sq.ft. for a 2-flat) unless the lot meets the exception for the characteristic of the block as previously mentioned by Nicolas; then it can be reduced to 1,500 sq.ft. per unit in order to construct a 2-flat.

Converting properties to multi-family is considered extensive rehab and those programs are a little more exclusive than the standard bridge loan programs. 

I'll be specifically looking to start in the Cincinnati, Ohio and lean towards targeting buy and hold single family and potentially multi family as well.Any advice is appreciated and I look forward to connecting. 

I’m here because I’m interested in investing in small multi family units, duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes.

We lost about $100,000, which we had borrowed from family.

A number years ago, I went to town buying a bunch of rentals in a short period of time and I can assure you they took money from my family instead of putting money in my family pocket.

My primary is a 2-family also and I use turbo tax for that and my other rentals.
