Looking into possible multi family or error.thank you.  

Only eight or so have participated in Section 8 housing—and every one of them lost money and quit after the first year.

The other is a Single Family long term rental.

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

If you get help and look in the right locations, you can make the numbers work and still enjoy the property with your family.

@Michael Challenger I scraped all the cash I could find and borrowed from family.

Investment Info:Large multi-family (5+ units) commercial investment investment.

You could rent to young professionals or to families.

I know from BP podcasts that mistakes are part of the process, but I want to avoid anything that could jeopardize my family’s financial stability.Despite these concerns, I’m ready to dive in!
