. - You can get more units in the City of Detroit, but you will need to understand the City's demographics or you'll get taken advantage of.City of Detroit has 183+ residential Neighborhoods.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) other investment. 17 luxury duplex development located off of Galm Road in the vibrant growing North West San Antonio.

@Chanel Snerling if you're going to rezone in those Neighborhoods, you'd be better off going with max number of units possible.What construction project development & management experience do you have?

Question, have you gotten a multifamily unit yet? 

Depending on your finances you don't necessarily need to start with a duplex, but I wouldn't go any more than 4 unit if you're going residential.

For multifamily, leverages won't be as much until you have some experience not only with 1-4 units but also 5+ units. 

I guess I could do some work-arounds -- maybe reserve one unit in the first purchase for use as an AirBnb, and reserve my own time in it when needed - instead of claiming it as a primary.Are either of you (or anyone) familiar with a finance product/loan that will allow me to purchase under $150,000 (w/ strong credit) and do much of my own work and live-in a portion as a primary residence?  

Quote from @Mindy Nicol: Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment in St Augustine.

If you have a cooperative Seller, walk through each unit and inspect together.

If looking to buy in the U.S, there are foreign national DSCR loans for 1-4 units.
