I Personally would go the multi family route.

For single-family and multi-family rentals - plan to put 20-25% down on investment properties.If you find a rental from 2-4 units with a month to month lease or a vacant unit that you could technically move into/would move into after buying within 60 days - plan to put 3.5-5% down. 

Looking for targeted courses on large multi-unit commercial/residential investing. 30-200 units. 

Won’t this be same as multi family duplex? 

Public REITs have seen a strong return to capital markets in 2024, raising $64.9 billion by Q3.

I will purchase this 4-plex through an FHA Loan with 3.5% Down Payment and live there for at least 1 year until I can afford my next multi-family!

I’m leaning towards long term rentals, mainly single family but open to possibly medium term or multi family.  

If you have a solid, stable, multi-year tenant, that's paying close to market rate, they may be more valuable than someone paying a few points higher but is likely to move every year. 

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

Based on my analysis, a good amount of the multi-family properties for sale within Blue Island would seem to cash-flow, but the sticker price on some of these properties seems too good to be true.
