If we're focusing on Small Multi-Fam and/or Flipping.

I agree with where Nicholas is going, first, if it's feasible I'd recommend house hacking some type of multi family or even a single family that's local to you. 

You can however do a multi-unit residential (MUR) development in Houston in certain areas.

I am purchasing my first rental property (multi-family) unit in Salisbury North Carolina. 

I don’t quite have enough capitol for another property downtown and am currently looking at multi families in North Charleston. 

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

I’ve often found that a property’s best path forward isn’t always the most obvious.. sometimes letting go unlocks capital for the next wave of growth, sometimes holding tight after refinancing keeps that reliable monthly boost (from what I’ve heard).I had a friend who snagged a multi-family in a similar price range about a decade ago.. at the time, it felt like a giant step.

I’m mostly interested in multi family homes (using the Brrr method).

A couple tips--Always best to house hack small multis when you are moving around from base to base.
