Real estate investing has been a passion of mine for time with my mother also having invested early on where I likely have gotten the love and desire to follow similar foot steps.I have taken last 6 months to educate myself and currently own a single family home as primary residence and would like to expand to multi family properties (2-4 units) for additional stream of income, not to mention potential tax benefits for long-term investing.Based on current living situation, I have a fair amount of equity established in my primary residency along with having enough cash to either pay off house completely or use towards investing in a multi family property.Given that I'm the sole source of income for our household with my wife being the home maker for our two kids under 2, trying to weigh out risks with getting started now or perhaps waiting. 

Transversely, wholesalers do manage to get buildings sold with one single walkthrough and have a deep cash buyers list. 5.

Hello Bigger pockets just dropped the blog link attached with current hedge funds buying single family homes .

Imagine if you had one single-family home.

 (3 convention units +  3 ADUs) * 3 lots = 18 unitsIn general adding one ADU is not a good investment because there is no more expensive residential development than a single, small unit.  

I like the detailed descriptions others have given, but I also keep it simple:A: I’d live there with my familyB: I’d live there if I had to with my family C: I’d live there if I was single D: Nope

FWIW, I'm going to base this off a 1,500 SF single family new build, but I'll predict the build cost will be a little over $200/SF.

To match the returns you'd have to peg every grand-slam appreciating stock every-single-year on the street.

I own a single family home in Socal that my wife and i currently living in.

You will have people who might have been looking for a single-family home / not as savvy on the investment side coming in.
