Investment Info:Large multi-family (5+ units) commercial investment investment.

Do you think they're worth the investment, or do most buyers still prefer in-person showings? 

we had a few left in our inventory and they each were sold to a house hacker.. great investment for a house hacker. 

It’s a single family house that I bought for $160k.

I'm new to real estate investing, but have thrown myself into learning as much as I can by joining a Veteran based investment community, have been working with my realtor and looking daily for potential multi family properties in the Dallas area for house hacking, which I've set myself an deadline to be completed by May.

He decided to switch to a finance degree with the goal of financial advising and real estate investing. 

If you are calling the licensed guy off the one single van that drives by or was referred to you..

In my estimation it takes 2-5 years before a rental is broken in and feels like a good investment. 

How did you configure it for investing?  

These were investments, the value of the assest are there, its the liquid that ran short and had to resort to credit cards to fix up the propertyYou spent $50k from savings, borrowed $50k from a 401k, and are paying it back over five years at around 7.5% interest, then borrowed another $40k from credit cards and are paying that back at around 8% interest, maybe more.
