5unit is probably manageable.  20 unit is work I would think. 

They acquired the neighboring four-unit in the 1990s for $150,000.00.

I recently closed on a commercial condo unit (for retail), which is one unit in a building that also has 7 apartments. 

Good grief you're wanting to sue because your unit didn't rent?

It hasn't been an easy ride for lots of folks building in Cape Coral over the past several years, but one silver lining is the property values have nearly doubled since Covid, though the market has cooled recently. 

I am considering a 12 unit multifamily property in my home market of Harrisburg, PA. 

Start with Reonomy or Costar to identify all the 100+ units in your target market (on and off market) and then see if you can get into direct contact with some owners.

I am cool with the idea of buying it off market and listing it with a realtor on the MLS at a premium.

I live on the main unit. 

my hope is to get a nice unit for my son at below 50% of retail.
