In 2025 does it make sense to build a 4plex and house hack it or is it better to buy existing multi-family? 

I’d love advice on leveraging my existing assets, navigating seller finance deals, or other tips for scaling effectively.

awesome, would love to connect as i like seeing proactiveness in this community

@Jack B.I love DSCR loans.

But with the right strategy and due diligence, Albuquerque might just be the next great investment hotspot.Would love to hear from other BiggerPockets members who have experience in the Albuquerque market.

A single-family home or small multi-unit property can be a great way to dip your toes in the water.Build a Team: Even if you’re planning to handle most things yourself, having a good real estate agent, property manager (if needed), and a reliable handyman can make life so much easier.Learn the Local Laws: Pensacola is pretty investor-friendly, but it’s always good to know local zoning laws and short-term rental regulations if you’re thinking about Airbnb or VRBO.Run the Numbers: Make sure you’re clear on the property’s cash flow potential.

Love to see success. 

Would love to network, learn, and be a resource for anyone in the area :)Hi @Bridget Huston, welcome to the BP Forum!
