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

@Jaycee Greene I want to house hack for my first property whether that be SF or Multi Family, there is not too many options where I am for multi family though unfortunately. 

Congrats on transitioning to multi-family investing!

This is actually one of the main reasons many agents and investors may not like them generally speaking (they are often not serious professionals with a proven track record of success, the vast majority are struggling to find their first deal and are time-wasters to interact with).   

Since it says you are new to real estate and sharing calculations, my experience is that a lot of new investors are spending a lot of time "modeling" and zero time actually seeing homes or multis or commercial properties in person.

Quote from @Sharad Bagri: We are a few friends from California looking to invest in multi family real estate in Ohio.

It is multi unit so can’t use a lockbox for these cases.
