Seriously, it's important.And as mentioned above, the amount of rent you receive on multi-family properties is based on 12 month rental comps.

But if you know what you're doing in finding the properties and want a fixer upper, it's doable.I will say that the multi-family rental market is pretty saturated here though. 

Frank, For a rookie investor with low capital looking to build a rental portfolio, the best strategy is house hacking: buy a small multi-family home with a low down payment (FHA or conventional loan), live in one unit, and rent the others to cover your mortgage.

Hi BiggerPockets Community,I’m Alex Banegas, an ambitious multi-family investor passionate about creating wealth through real estate.

Live in the multi-family for a year, then move back into your own home and rent out the unit.If if not ideal, it's worth the hassle. 

What seems most attractive for now seems to be multi-family markets starting out and eventually moving into 5-20 unit properties for growth. 

The idea is to convert a multi-family building into condos; but not in the traditional sense where you separate pre-existing apartments into their own condos; but in a way where you combine the common areas of all of the apartments in that whole building, and turn the individual rooms within those apartments into condos themselves; thus transforming the hallways, kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, porches, balconies into common areas of the condos.
