Both units of the duplex have squatters.

Each unit uses one account.

He has a lot of units and is a licensed agent in Worcester MA who knows plenty about single-family as well.

Hi All - I found a lead on a MFH (5+ units) that is a short sale.

Probably wiser to deploy just a bit more ($1.2 mm - $1.3 mm) and try and get a 3 or 4 unit property via FHA.Jersey City is very hot right now and certainly worth exploring, but have you also considered Brooklyn, Queens or the Bronx? 

None of the turnkey companies I've talked to offer any type of tenancy guarantee (outside of guaranteeing that they'll re-tenant the unit within a couple of months) -- if you know any that offer guarantees of tenancy that would sound very interesting!

You can look up 2-4 units nearby that's sold and see which agent did the best or has done the most volume.

@Travis Smock A cost segregation study could benefit your 6-unit property by accelerating depreciation, even on a lower-value property like yours, especially with low land value.

I just purchased a 24 unit in Columbus, Ohio.

The three units you are renting out are investment properties, if they were put into service this year then you can deduct your expenses on them, but not on your unit.
