I've reached out to Metron with some follow up questions of my own:What are the associated cost with each individual unit?

I am currently in the market to purchase a tri-plex with the plan to live in one unit, make upgrades, and rent the other two out.

To this day, I still use the BiggerPockets Calculator for everything from 2-4 unit properties all the way up to the 224-unit portfolio we're working on closing this February.

Regards,VivienHouse hacking a 2-4 unit property is a convenient way to get started and a useful strategy for growing your portfolio!

Hi BP Family "I’m working on a 15-unit multi-family deal with strong rental & value-add potential.

I've heard horror stories that it's usually impossible due to the "burden placed on the municipality" but could really never understand what that burden was... most people living in those units wouldn't be using the school systems so aside from maybe an increased volume in emergency medical situations I can not understand that statement? 

I currently have 1 two-unit in Joliet. 

Housing sales price is way below national average being the median price for a single family home is 90k.

Being a brand new unit you have rehabbed you might have to get her out rather than potentially ruin the whole unit by an act of her negligence.

It is perfect for a portfolio size of 5-15 units.
