A local property manager will make this much easier and handle the visits for you.Single-family homes can still do well, even with more apartments popping up, as they cater to tenants who want privacy and space.

Outside of real estate, I enjoy spending time with family.  

I’m getting ready to make my next move in 2025 and I’m contemplating on staying here and buying a multi family property as an investment out of state (only an hour away) which would be a lot less capital and have a lot more land lord friendly laws or buy another multifamily as a primary residence locally and hack that property I’m single and live alone.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Andy.. are you considering venturing beyond single-family homes down the line?

South Utah County and the Eagle Mountain area are where I would be buying and specifically new construction and small cheap single-family homes.

Multi-family real estate is something I am planning on doing after I graduate college and eventually full-time. 

I purchased a 3 family in Newark NJ in March of this year, and am curious about looking into this form of insurance as a way to further protect myself. 

You'll likely also reduce your cost of living by moving to a stabilized apartment.Depending on the cashflow and debt paydown, you can use this strategy until you've built enough equity to reinvest.On the other hand, getting into a multi-family after refinancing will also help you build substantial equity to rinse and repeat in the coming years.
