One thing that hasn't been brought up is if you put a property in an LLC, it MAY be subject to California Rent Control, even if it is a single family home.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) other investment in Martins Ferry.

Hi,I am an investor in single family homes and am interested to use my equity in them to start investing in multi unit shopping center retail.

Investment Info:Large multi-family (5+ units) fix & flip investment in San Francisco.

I like the detailed descriptions others have given, but I also keep it simple:A: I’d live there with my familyB: I’d live there if I had to with my family C: I’d live there if I was single D: Nope

Are they family members?

Context matters: for some apartment buildings that compete head to head with a very similar property just down the street, this may be a good strategy.We rent premium single family homes and I have never offered an incentive.

I want to start house hacking maybe with a single family home or duplex.

I'm also happy to share access to a spreadsheet where I track Single Family, Multifamily & Rental Inventory for the Pensacola Market(Escambia & Santa Rosa Counties) each week. 

Hello all,I'm looking to buy my first multi-family.
