If you decide to exit real estate entirely, just make sure whatever investment path you choose aligns with your goals and risk tolerance.

I would encourage you to read this beginners guide from BiggerPockets, it's a good bit of information so pick and choose what you want to read or read it all.

Quote from @David B Graham: Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

Hey I am looking to get my first Multi-family investment in St.

A 1031 exchange will allow you to sell your building and use the proceeds to invest in a small multi family and/or medium term rentals.

Seriously, it's important.And as mentioned above, the amount of rent you receive on multi-family properties is based on 12 month rental comps.  

Just make sure the town is ok with the land being zoned for multi-units, and look into construction costs, financing options, and permits ahead of time.

I know this is an old thread.I'd like to get a more recent opinion of these apps.I think the DFD options is very interesting.What we want to do is endorse one of these for our Real Estate Club in Greenville, SC and have a contest for our members to see who can find the most deals with the software.Maybe try and get a rep from the company we choose to come and speak at one of our in person meeting and also negotiate a longer trial window if possible for our members.

We are wondering what to do next....multi family unit?

I've been looking in deal finder for properties and noticed to multi families aren't showing up in map view, but when I search them by address the listing appears.
