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

Im in Florida and sell multi family and some JV on deals, but our rates have increased significantly over the last two years 50-100%, BUT the most recent renewals are more around the 5-10% increases as 8 new insurance companies entered the state this past year.

Is it a SFR or multi?

Given our circumstances, would you recommend investing in another single home or a multi-unit (like a triplex or fourplex)?

I doubt you will have any issue renting it above what a regular multi-family would rent for.  

Most Hard money lenders are going to require 20% of cost so if you have that plus reserves then that is by far the best bet.If this Is for real and they are not just trying to get a thousand bird dogs to pay them a 795 up front fee for their inspector they probably pay 100 bucks to drive out and look at and fund very few deals ( like many mortgage scams) .. then these can be pretty nice set ups for you to gain experience and build your resume'I would also hit Mark off line he is a very experienced licensed Broker in that area and one who knows the investor side of the coin

This job has given me practical experience in general repairs and maintenance of large multi-family buildings.

They are raising capital for a 506b (family and friends unaccredited) hybrid deal (in another state) that includes an apartment, selling some SFHs, building a few Multi families for air bnb etc.I wanted to pass by you folks to make sure it's a decent deal for me.

Is it a single family property or multi-family?

As for accounting basic book keeping can start around 100 bucks a month at a lot of places.
