Not every real estate agent is an investor, and not every agent focuses on 1-4 unit properties, let alone has the ability to purchase them.

Purchase price: $225,000 Cash invested: $56,000 Purchased 4-plex from a wholesaler.

For this report I used an FHA loan for example, so 3.5% of the purchase price.

Purchase price: $260,000 Cash invested: $120,000 Sale price: $535,000 Complete gut, new front and rear walls, all new electric, HVAC, plumbing, roof, deck, windows, interior What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Purchase price: $5,000,000 Cash invested: $1,450,000 Complete combination and gut of two lofts side by side resulting in a 4,000 square foot home.

Mortgage lenders will qualify you for a higher purchase amount for multis than they would on a single, because they will count the rent you will be making on the other units as additional qualifying income for your loan application.

But with that purchase, I bought it with $50k equity in the deal.

We are currently living just south of Boston and are looking to purchase a 2-4 unit property in which we would live in one of the units.

We were in a financial position where we could keep our existing home, upgrade, and purchase another home.

Encore, you would need a membership, if you purchase in the new phase (Spectrum ) they automatically come with the amenities (membership) included to your guests, but the HOA and management have other restrictions and all units come furnished with the same packages, so you can't make changes to have it stand out, which is what is really needed hear in Orlando since there is so much competition.
